For Adults

Courses are offered by professional artists active in their practice, and 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.

Workshops

The Visual Arts Centre's workshops are an opportunity to learn about a specific technique or theme in an intensive way. Workshops generally last one or two full days, but this varies according to the specific nature of the workshops offered.

Private workshops

We offer customized art workshops for school, community or corporate groups. They are available in our workshops at the Centre or in your space, depending on your preference. Our teachers adapt to your preferences and choice of medium (watercolor, drawing, painting, etc.). 

Portfolio Mentorship and Development

We offer individual sessions to help you develop a portfolio, a portfolio application or to help you find a direction in your artistic process. These meetings last an hour and a half with one of our teachers. You'll discuss your goals with a professional artist, receive feedback and assemble a coherent body of work.

Faculty

Our teachers are professional artists who share their passion and experience with students at the Visual Arts Centre. They are the heart of the VAC.
