Whether you want to develop beginner skills, add to your wealth of knowledge, or simply express yourself—all are welcome. Come to our studios and connect with other creatively minded folks.
Visual art
A big studio for big ideas. A space for skill-building and bringing projects to life. This studio is actually two classrooms joined together. It can host regular courses, such as painting, drawing, and print making. It can also transform into a single space for large projects.
Think of massive parade puppets operated by a team of people! If we can dream it, we can build it. Bring your curiosity!
Performing arts
A black box studio celebrating voice, movement, and storytelling. Be inspired by live performances. Sign up for courses in theatre, dance, and music. Or start up a community choir!
This space is ideal for a variety of events for up to 200 people that bring people together. Local theatre companies can also use this space to rehearse productions or develop new shows.
Woodworking
Regardless of your previous experience, sign up for a class today. We are proud to partner with The Urban Woodworker—an established Metro Vancouver leader in community-based woodworking education. Sign up for courses today on our registration page.
The Urban Woodworker currently offers programs in North Vancouver (Lower Lonsdale) and with the City of Vancouver (Roundhouse Community Centre Craft & Textile Arts). Learn more about our partner The Urban Woodworker.
Artists in residence
Collaborate with local artists to create community projects!
The Artist in Residence program connects professional artists with the Clayton Heights community. These artists specialize in developing art projects that bring folks together. Through shared creative experiences, artists and community members will gather, express themselves, and create artworks that foster social unity.
