Registration is now open for Visual Arts Brampton's lineup of winter and spring art programs! Choose from our range of art courses for adults, kids and teens. From beginners to experienced artists, we are sure you will find a program to help you explore your creativity in our supportive studio environment.

Not sure where to start? Try our Artistic Exploration workshop for adults. Each five-week session will explore a new subject and medium every one or two weeks. From drawing, printmaking, painting to collage and mixed media, projects will build on each other, allowing you to gain the confidence and experience to try more and more!

In addition to our range of introductory workshops, we are pleased to bring you over 15 new workshops for adults this winter and spring covering a range of media and subjects.

For kids and teens, our popular weekly art classes begin a new term February. These classes provide the perfect environment to inspire young artists of any skill level. Also returning this spring is our Spring Into Art - Full Day March Break Camp.

We invite you now to explore all of our:

As the holiday season approaches, it is a great opportunity to think about how we – as  community – can help some of the most vulnerable in Brampton put food on their table.

From now until December 17, Visual Arts Brampton will be holding a Food Drive in support of Knights Table - an organization that serves the needs of people dealing with issues of poverty and homelessness in the Peel Region.

Please consider donating next time you are in the studio to help us help others this season. Some of the most needed items include: Pasta Sauce, Canned Meat, Canned Vegetables, Canned Fruit, Kraft Mac & Cheese, Instant Noodles, Snacks (puddings, jello, granola bars) juices, drink boxes, water, cake mixes, diapers, sanitary products, and hygiene products.

Come out and join Visual Arts Brampton for Culture Days! Once again we are proud to participate in this weekend of celebrating culture in Ontario with free events on Saturday, September 28 and Sunday, September 29.
