Visual Arts Centre

Important: To ensure a smooth Summer 2025 registration, we have decided to divide the process into 3 days based on course department: registration for teen courses begin on 21 May at 9 am, for fine art courses on 28 May at 9 am, and for ceramics courses on 29 May at 9 am. By managing traffic in this way, we can serve you better. Thank you for your understanding.

The Visual Arts Centre is comprised of the School of Art, the McClure Gallery, focused on contemporary art, and ARTreach, a community art outreach program. We have been part of Tiohtià:ke - Mooniyang - Montreal’s artistic community for nearly 80 years.
