AGNS has worked with Child Life Services at the IWK Health Centre since 2003. This collaboration enables Child Life and AGNS staff to work together to offer innovative visual art workshops for children, teens and families. Currently on view at the IWK Health Centre is a felted mural called Hands Together, that reflects 100 years of care and service to the community by the IWK Health Centre. This mural was a centennial art project with artists Heather Wilkinson and Melissa Marr, the IWK community and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
Developed with the Provincial Autism Centre with the generous support of the Craig Foundation, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia offers a diverse range of programs for children, youth and adults with autism.
