That Green Ideal: Emily Carr and the Idea of NatureMarch 31 to June 18, 2026

Available for Grades 1–12

That Green Ideal: Emily Carr and the Idea of Nature is the largest solo exhibition of iconic BC artist Emily Carr at the Vancouver Art Gallery in over twenty years. It explores in-depth the artist’s obsession with the landscape of the Pacific Northwest, using close analysis of her paintings and writings to investigate how she understood nature and her relationship to it. This exhibition includes Carr’s early paintings of northern British Columbia, the work she made travelling in France, her representations of Indigenous subjects—particularly villages and totem poles set within the landscape—and her later paintings of the BC wilderness.

In the workshop component of this School Program, students will use oil pastels to create drawings in the Carr exhibition spaces.

Date: Thursday, June 18
