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

Our Interim Location All art classes are taking place in the newly renovated space on the Gallery’s lower level. Public access is down the ramp of the WAG building on Colony St. This interim space accommodates the WAG as it works to develop the Inuit Art Centre – a stateof-the-art building that will house art classes, as well as the Gallery’s celebrated collection of contemporary Inuit art and related programs. We eagerly await our new home in the 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.
