Drop in programs are a great way to experience everything our city has to offer without making a full time commitment. They’re also a great way to gauge interest in a certain subject, without making that commitment, as you can drop into one class and see if you like it before you continue.
Art Gallery of Alberta has a great drop in program for youth, called Studio Y.
Studio Y is a space where youth can explore art-making, self expression and meet other teen artists. Taught by experienced artist-instructors, Studio Y Workshops are designed for youth aged 13-17 and aim to offer young artists opportunities to explore their own artistic style while learning about contemporary art-making techniques. Studio Y workshops introduce projects and ideas that give the space for youth to discover their creative voice, develop their range of technical skills, and explore materials in a supportive, challenging and fun environment.
Every week the workshops change, you can find the schedule and get additional details, at the Art Gallery of Alberta.
Classes are available between September and June, annually.
