Dear friends at A Gift of Art,
Hope you had a wonderful September! The Fall season has returned and along with it our art classes and workshops. We have a variety of art classes that you can take starting with Adult drawing and watercolour with Todd Tremeer and Encaustic with Linda Viro. Visit our website for the full list and more details!

In light of present circumstances, we are working on setting up online classes through Zoom so that you can learn art at the convenience and safety of your home. We will be delivering these classes in two formats: Interactive classes and recorded. Interactive classes will be streamed live through Zoom and will allow you to chat with the instructor depending on the class. Recorded classes on the other hand, as the name suggests, will be available for download. You can view these any time you like!
Health and safety of our participants, visitors, instructors and staff is our priority right now. We have strict procedures and standards that are maintained on site. For example, we have installed hand sanitizers, masks and gloves at the gallery and allow only 4 visitors at a time. Everyone’s temperature is taken and recorded along with some health questions. With careful consideration and by observing strict policies we are getting through these times. We also thank our wonderful volunteers … we are grateful for their efforts in supporting activities here at the gallery.
Classes that are taking place on-site have limited spots open because we safely distance our participants. So if you see a class or workshop on the list that you like … make sure you call in quickly to reserve your spot!
