This past week, family and friends gathered to celebrate the achievements of the students in our Programs for Kids & Teens. Congratulations to all of our students on an exciting year of hard work, learning, and fun. A huge thank you goes out to all of the parents who have supported their children’s art education. We look forward to seeing you back at the studio in the summer and fall!
Visual Arts Brampton is pleased to announce our Teen Student Exhibit, running from June 5th – July 6th, 2019 at Beaux-Arts Brampton. The opening reception will be held on June 12th, 2019 from 7-9pm.

About the Exhibition: The Visual Arts Brampton Teen Student exhibit is composed of work that is representative of traditional and modern techniques that are taught to the students in VAB art programs. Each piece in the exhibit expresses the unique styles and personalities of the individual teenage artists. Visitors to this exhibit will emerge with an understanding of the maturity, skill, and depth of expression present in the teenage population.

When did you join VAB?
I have been with VAB for 3 years as of this past September.
Why did you join VAB?
I wanted to break out of my studio and do more than make art personally. I hoped to gain more from my love for art by teaching and sharing my passion with others.
What is your favourite part of VAB?
The open studio. It is a place where we not only come together to make and share art, but we talk about life and everything happening around us. It is truly a joyful social experience.
What is the best thing about your role at VAB?
Watching a student learn how to create accomplished original art and then witnessing the joy they get from it. Priceless.
Why should someone join VAB?
To meet like minded people. To have fun. To learn how to make accomplished original art. To experience the joy in making fine art.
Visual Arts Brampton is proud to be a sponsor of The Artists Festival - a cultural intersection where the general public and residents can meet artists from the local areas in the arts and culture scene.
