Winter 2021 Online Classes

In line with the University of Saskatchewan's guidelines to protect our community, our classes will all be offered online. Although the experience is a bit different, there are benefits such as not having to carry all your supplies and artwork to campus, and being able to attend from anywhere in the world!

• Classes are delivered live/synchronously through short lectures, demonstrations, time to work on projects, instructor feedback, and class sharing.
• Classes are not recorded.
• Enrolment is limited to 8 students to keep class sizes small. 
• The winter term starts January 11, but some classes have later start dates. Check class pages for details.
• You will receive the online meeting information a few days before the start of class.
• We take registrations up to the second class if the class is not full. 
• Classes are for students aged 16+ unless they are listed as adults + youth in which case they are for 12+.

• If you had registered for a class but are unable to attend, we will issue a refund minus a $75 administration fee prior to class start date. There are no refunds issued after the class start date.

Facebook Art Group

So many of us appreciate the joy and benefits of doing art in community. We can still be together. If you are doing art at home and missing your art friends, come join us and share your creations. Let's finish up some class projects, and explore new media, ideas, or anything at all that's artistic and creative. Everyone is welcome, all Community Arts students and instructors, and also anyone in the broader community, so feel free to invite others!
