WORKSHOPS
The Ottawa Art Academy has long been proud to provide workshops that enrich, challenge, and inspire the artistic community. These sessions have given students and practicing artists alike the opportunity to expand their skills, explore new approaches, and engage in meaningful dialogue with peers and instructors.
At this time, we must announce that:
No further workshops will be offered for the remainder of 2025.
While we step back from our traditional workshop programming, we may still host occasional drop-in portrait and figure drawing opportunities for those who wish to continue practicing from life. These sessions, when available, will be announced in advance.
Looking ahead, 2026 will mark the beginning of a new chapter for the Academy. Instead of returning to the familiar workshop format, we are preparing to introduce a new alternative program designed to better serve the evolving needs of our students and community. This initiative will allow us to broaden our offerings while maintaining the high standard of excellence and dedication to the arts that the Ottawa Art Academy is known for.
Although workshops will no longer be hosted on-site for the time being, we remain open to collaboration. Communities, educational organizers, and art event coordinators are welcome to contact us about arranging workshops, lectures, or drawing and painting sessions at external venues. The Academy continues to value opportunities to share our expertise and foster artistic growth beyond our own walls.
We encourage all students, alumni, and members of the community to stay informed by subscribing to our newsletter and checking our website regularly. Updates on upcoming opportunities, including details about our 2026 programming, will be shared as they become available.
The Ottawa Art Academy remains committed to supporting artists at every stage of their journey, and we look forward to continuing this mission through new initiatives, collaborations, and creative endeavors.
