A COMMITMENT TO ART & ART MAKERS Our Programs and Instructors For over 80 years, WAG Studio has built a strong reputation for providing excellence in art instruction for children, teens, and adults. Classes incorporate current exhibitions with special tours, fostering a connection between the art on view in the galleries and the art created in the classrooms.

All of our instructors have degrees and/or diplomas from universities or art colleges and many have master’s degrees and additional certification in education. While most work in private studios, instructors also bring experience as actors, administrators, art therapists, designers, and members of artist-run centres.

For more information about our instructors, visit wag.ca/studio

We’ve Moved!

As the WAG works to develop the new Inuit Art Centre, the current WAG Studio facility will be replaced by a new state-of-the-art building to house art classes, as well as the Gallery’s celebrated collection of contemporary Inuit art and related programs. In the meantime, Studio classes have moved to renovated spaces on the Gallery’s lower level. Public access is down the ramp of the WAG building on Colony St. We eagerly await our new home in the Inuit Art Centre where art education will expand with larger and more versatile spaces.

If you have questions, please contact: Rachel Baerg, Head of Education at art-educator@wag.ca, or Diane Lafournaise, Manager of WAG Studio at studioprograms@wag.ca Learn more about the Inuit Art Centre at inuit.wag.ca

SPRING ADULT ART CLASSES Unless otherwise indicated, adults provide their own tools and supplies for classes. Basic drawing and painting materials are provided for the first class, at which time supply lists are distributed.

Intermediate Studio students should bring their own selection of supplies to the first class. A supply list will be handed out on the first day of class. For special workshops supplies are generally included in the class cost.
