Description

ABOUT The Vancouver Island School of Art is an accredited private post-secondary contemporary art school established in 2004 by artist and educator, Wendy Welch. The philosophy of the school is to offer art education to adults with and without art experience. Courses can be taken on an individual basis or as part of a program such as the Certificate of Visual Arts or Diploma of Fine Arts. We offer courses in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, art history and printmaking. The school's focus is on the individual who wants to study art but has limited available time. To this end, we provide a flexible schedule offering courses during the day and evenings. We also offer weekend workshops year-round and shorter courses and weeklong workshops in the Spring/Summer session. All courses and workshops qualify for credit towards a program. Programs can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. The school is located in an historic arts and crafts style building (1921) that is centrally located near many amenities such as cafés, restaurants and grocery stores. The school has four well-lit large classrooms on the main floor and a sculpture room, woodshop and art gallery (the Slide Room Gallery) on the lower level. There is also a fully-equipped darkroom and library. The school also has a large parking lot for student use.
