This online exhibit is in French and English, has teacher's resources, and gives lesson plans for related activities. Built to facilitate observations, comparisons and looking 'up close', this resource makes a great supplement to your art curriculum.

Written by Peter Morin of Tahltan Nation in conjunction with gallery staff, the guide includes:
- Artwork and information on exhibiting artists
- Lesson plans geared towards intermediate students
- Resources for further explorations
Concepts the guide explores:
