Three sessions per year, on Thursdays, 9am to 12:30 pm, at the Findlay Centre on Elliot St. in Dartmouth.  Sessions run for 10 to 14 weeks, depending on the calendar. Fees vary according to the number of weeks in each session, payable by cheque or cash on the spot. We are limited to 31 people per session. Register early to secure your spot.

Sessions usually begin in September, January and March. Members will receive Emails with exact dates. For more information, contact Joel Fraser by clicking here: studiogroup@DartmouthVisualArts.ca 

Join us!  You’ll have fun, make a new friend, and share some laughs.  Share your paintings, learn from others, pick up new techniques. You’ll find us to be open and supportive. Anyone who is a paid-up member of DVAS can join.

There is no facilitator at these sessions. Many experienced artists attend and are happy to share their knowledge. We have fledgling painters as well as those more experienced. We learn from each other.  Don't be shy! We are a welcoming group, that shares a passion! What more wonderful and productive way of passing the winter months, than doing what we all love to do?

NOTE: we daw and paint using all mediums (odorless, of course and… thanks for that!) Let's get painting!

Closures Due to Inclement Weather: Findlay Centre may be open during inclement weather. If it's stormy, please call Findlay Centre 902-490-4728 to check if they are open before heading out.
