Group programs
We offer a variety of workshops adapted to all grade levels, from preschool through university. Each workshop held at DRAC begins with a guided tour of the current exhibition.
DRAC is part of the Répertoire culture-éducation of the Ministry of Culture and Communications. Our activities can be subsidized by the programs La culture à l’école and Sorties scolaires en milieu culturel.
Workshops can be adapted to suit your specific needs: • Our activities can take place either at DRAC or on your premises. Many of our workshops are available in an off-site format, with certain restrictions depending on the conditions of the venue. • Activities can be held in French or English. • Activities can be tailored to the participants’ specific needs.
