On Our Offerings

“The tour was thoughtfully led and referenced the AME Unit 2 task throughout. The resources online are fantastic. The exhibition was challenging and there was an intelligent approach to the design and thematic links.”

“It was very informative, easy to book, good location, younger staff, use of clipboards and pencils, diverse work.” 

On Our Team

“Great resources targeted at the specific key knowledge and skills. This gives the opportunity for multiple exposures and multi modal learning.”

“I thought it was very well-planned logistically – welcoming the students to the space, getting bags put away, and then the introductory talk was great.”

“I was also grateful for how approachable the staff were for any questions the students or myself had about the space and the exhibition.”

Student Impact

“I loved how challenging this was for my students.”

“(My students) had a good experience; the educators helped with their questioning.”

Student Feedback

“Buxton was able to provide me with a greater understanding with the hidden meanings that contemporary art holds and that it takes many processes to curate the pieces.”
– Grade 10 student ​

“I learnt that artists are creative thinkers and problem solvers which is something I aspire to be.”
– Grade 9 student ​
