Visual Arts Brampton would like to thank all of the wonderful community members who joined us in painting the giant Muskoka chair in Garden Square during CeleBrampton this past Saturday! It was a pleasure meeting each and every one of you and we hope to see you around our studio in the future!

We would also like to thank Garden Square for partnering with us and providing us with this opportunity. 

Last, but certainly not least, we would like to extend a big THANK YOU to our VAB volunteers who made this event possible.  Your hard work was very appreciated and helped us create a community masterpiece that will live on in Garden Square!

Thank you to our event volunteers Emma, Robert, Yasmine, Matt, Stephanie, Nick, Jacquie, Paul, Cameron and Paulina.

And thank you to Stephanie who designed the chair and our team who prepared the chair for the community: Stephanie, Concetta, Emma, Nick, Paul, Chris, and Stephanie R.

Visual Arts Brampton is once again proud to participate in CeleBrampton - An annual one-day community celebration that showcases Brampton's open, friendly, and diverse community.

Be sure to stop by and take part in the community art project while you enjoy all the other festivities CeleBrampton has to offer on Saturday June 9 from 11am to 9pm. More information about CeleBrampton can be found here.

Visual Arts Brampton is pleased to offer a workshop geared towards adults who would like to learn how to draw.

Pulling from the concepts taught in our popular Art Fundamentals program, Learn to Draw for Beginners is a six-week workshop for adults that will teach the basics of drawing, covering topics such as: perspective, proportions, form and volume, shading, and composition. The workshop also teaches the fundamentals of portraiture and still life drawing as well as gaining an understanding of what art tools to use and when.

The workshop will run on Saturday mornings from 9:30am to 11:30am starting September 15, 2018. The cost for this workshop is $160 and all materials will be included except for sketchbooks and drawing pencils, which the student should supply. Advanced registration is required for workshops. Registration closes one week prior to the start date.
