            Summer Art Camp for Calgary Kids and Teens

In the heart of Bowness, Calgary, a creative transformation takes place each summer at Grasby Art Studio. Since 2011, this established art studio has been helping young artists discover their creative potential through comprehensive summer art camps that go far beyond simple craft projects.

The Benefits of Structured Art Education

Research consistently shows that art education plays a crucial role in child development. At Grasby Art Studio, the focus extends beyond just creating pretty pictures. The program's structured approach helps develop:

  • Critical thinking skills through artistic problem-solving
  • Fine motor skills through various medium applications

  • Social skills through interaction with fellow young artists
  • Emotional expression through creative outlets

A Professional Studio Experience in Bowness

Located in the vibrant community of Bowness, the studio provides easy access for families across northwest Calgary.

This setting, combined with expert instruction, creates an immersive experience that can spark a lifelong passion for art.

Comprehensive Artistic Development

What sets Grasby's program apart is its focus on genuine skill development. Students learn through a combination of:

  • Structured demonstrations
  • Personal project work
  • Expert mentorship
  • Exposure to multiple mediums including acrylics, watercolors, oils, charcoal, and more

The studio's signature 5-step drawing method provides students with a solid foundation in artistic techniques, while the freedom to pursue personal projects allows for creative expression and exploration.
