About ArtVenture Art Studio

ArtVenture Art Studio is a school offering art classes, camps, and visual arts birthday parties for students ranging from Senior Kindergarten through to adults. Located in the Whitehills neighbourhood on Aldersbrook Road, the studio provides a unique space designed for small classes and individualized learning. The studio serves the local community by offering programs during the daytime, evenings, and weekends. The studio provides a variety of educational offerings, including three terms of art classes throughout the school year and four-week workshops for adults, such as Still-Life Drawing, Painting a Portrait, and Spring Landscapes. Their curriculum takes an academic approach, infusing art history and colour theory into projects. Students can explore 19th and 20th-century artists and movements, such as Impressionism, through specific lecture series like Art Smart. For younger students, the studio hosts March Break and summer camps where children can engage in painting, drawing, sculpting, illustrating, and story writing. Additionally, they offer a specialized High School Workshop designed to help students build a portfolio for post-secondary applications by focusing on proportion, perspective, and composition. Founded in 2007 by the Reshef family, ArtVenture Art Studio was established with a vision to provide an inspiring environment where students can develop their creativity under professional guidance. The studio is led by Erica, an artist and former teacher with 40 years of classroom experience, and Ayala, a manager with nearly 30 years of experience in education. They are joined by Hugo, who handles finance and administration, and a team of instructors who include local artists and university students. The studio emphasizes an inclusive environment where students work at their own pace to find their unique artistic voices. Registration for classes requires a two-step process involving tuition payment and the submission of a class registration form. The studio accommodates various payment methods, including e-transfer, online payments, phone payments, and in-person transactions. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis with a maximum capacity of 10 to 12 students per session.
