In-Person: Tuesday Full DAY Program (10 Weeks)
Instructor: Various
Medium: Acrylic and/or Oil
Date: Every Tuesday (10 Weeks),

This program consists of 10 Full-Day classes held on a Tuesday at the Federation Academy on Granville Island. These sessions provide an in-depth, high-level, hands-on, overview of what every visual artist should know. Each class is dedicated to a different topic and taught by a different instructor, in order to expose artists to a range of concepts and teaching methods. Attendance at all 10 isn’t mandatory, but the classes do build on one another. We encourage you to attend as many classes as possible to get the full value from the experience.
This program is highly recommended to those whose schedule allows for this level of commitment. Students will experience the fundamentals in an introductory fashion, but the full day will allow for a more dedicated, in-depth overview of each subject. The full day sessions do include hands on art exercises and practicing.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
You may withdraw until 4 weeks prior to the workshop start date and receive a full refund. No refunds will be allowed after this date. We reserve the right to change or cancel any of the educational programs at any time. If we cancel a workshop, a full refund will be issued to all registrants. In the event the instructor is unavailable, either an alternate instructor with similar credentials or a make-up workshop may be arranged.
