Programs

Bealart has ten separate fully equiped studio facilities which are augmented by a computer lab, art library, and courses in art history and drawing. Developed by practising artists, the program provides professional instruction with a hands-on approach.

The foundation programs are offered as half day or full day courses. The programs provide students the opportunity to immerse themselves in an intensive, studio based experience.

A specialist (SPECIAL ART) year allows students to develop expertise in two of a possible ten selected disciplines.

Your experience at bealart will include opportunities to participate in exhibitions, field trips, and community projects. With a well developed portfolio, bealart graduates are often considered for advanced standing at Post-Secondary Institutions and are better prepared for career opportunities.
