About the Children's Arts Tax Credit 

Great News for Parents!
The Canadian Government has created the Children's Arts Tax Credit. This tax rebate is designed to help with the cost of arts and culture programs. Parents may claim the 15% credit on up to $500 of qualifying expenses in 2012 and future years, for a child who is under the age of 16 at the beginning of the tax year.
RMG programs that qualify for this credit are March Break Art Camp, Summer Art Camps,“Art FUNdamentals for Kids” and “The Artist in Me” art classes. For more information about the Children's Arts Tax Credit please click here.
If you aren't sure if a class or camp qualifies for the tax credit, please feel free to contact Jennifer Treleaven, Education Coordinator at jtreleaven@rmg.on.ca

Teen Drop-In Program

Thursdays
3-5pm

Week one: Thursday 9 February

The new Teen Drop-In program at the RMG is designed to create a free, open, and inviting space where youth can explore art-making, self-expression and meet other teen artists outside of their school and daily environments.

Participants have access to the gallery and mentorship within our education studios. The program supplies all materials whether it's working with acrylic paints, mixed media, animation, digital film making or even portfolio building advice for College or University. The program is aimed at
youth aged 13-19 and presents weekly art-related topics and discussions. The RMG gratefully acknowledges the financial support of Durham Community Foundation in this initiative.
