For Adults
Courses are offered by professional artists active in their practice to provide the ideal conditions to allow students to discover or strengthen techniques in the medium of their choice — drawing, painting, watercolour, collage, textile, ceramic (handbuilding and wheel throwing), jewellery and more. Courses range from introductory to increasingly advanced levels. As well, workshops offer students the opportunity to explore new mediums or innovative techniques in a collaborative and focused atmosphere.
For Teens
Courses for ages 13 to 17 years old are geared to reflect teen interests in contemporary culture and to develop skills, self-expression, and creative thinking. We offer drawing, painting, illustration, ceramic, jewellery, textile and mixed media courses. Also, for students considering an art related career, our courses and Portfolio Programme provide the chance to develop portfolios for admission to CEGEP or university.
For kids
The VAC offers an exciting hands-on learning experience, introducing children to the joy of creating art. The fundamentals of drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture and printmaking are taught through exploration of a wide range of art materials and techniques. Working with an exceptional faculty of teachers, students create original artworks. New projects are introduced each semester.
