We're shining bright like a diamond with recent news that Brampton Guardian readers have selected us as one of the best Adult Activity Programs in Brampton for our art classes. Along with receiving the prestigious Diamond level for our adult programs, our Artway Gallery at Shoppers World received a Platinum award for Best Art Gallery in Brampton.

A huge thank you goes out to our community for supporting our organization and nominating/voting for us in the Brampton Guardian Readers' Choice Awards this year.

Congratulations to Visual Arts Brampton student Shaivee Bhatt, Age 11, for having her artwork chosen as a finalist in the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest! Shaivee’s "BeeMobile" takes care of the bees that play a vital role in our ecosystem. Her work, along with eight other Canadian contenders, will now move on to the world finals.

Over the years, the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest has evolved from an art competition to an opportunity for children to bring forward their world-changing ideas,” said Larry Hutchinson, President and CEO of Toyota Canada and one of this year’s Canadian judges. “I’m truly impressed by their ideas – from making our planet more sustainable, to fighting virus and bacteria, to making the world more inclusive through physical accessibility.
