There's always something exciting happening here! Our innovative exhibitions and programs, colourful galleries, and career development workshops are popular topics for local and national media coverage. We have media events for exhibition launches and always try to accommodate media requests for stories and information. Of course we also welcome coverage of our many outreach programs that travel all over the country.
