Last chance to submit your pandemic story!

EXHIBITIONS ROM AT HOME MEMBERSHIP In accordance with the Ontario Chief Medical officer of health, the ROM is temporarily closed to the public. The health and safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors remains our top priority. We will continue to follow the recommendations of our public health officials and look forward to opening our doors again once it is safe and responsible to do so. What's Happening Last chance to submit your pandemic story Calling all kids and teens. Help the ROM create a portrait of life during the pandemic that reflects your child’s unique experiences. Encourage them to share their stories and perspectives through original, creative works of art and capture history while it's being made. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and has had a profound effect on how kids and teens learn, play, create, communicate, and so much more. Your children can help make sense of this moment and shape how it goes down in history—and how it will come to life in a new exhibition. View the My Pandemic Story Submission Guide for pointers and quick exercises to help spark their imagination. DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 2021 at 11:59 PM EST.
