    Fall term starts the week after Labour Day — first classes run September 8–14 depending on your day — and continues to just before Christmas. The full season carries on through June.
    Best value

    The Season — September to June

    40 classes × 3 hours · your reserved weekly timeslot · $1,472 with all supplies (or $1,172 bring-your-own)

    120 studio hours — about $12 an hour, everything included

    That's $238 less than paying month by month across the same ten months, and your easel is held all year long.

    The longer the commitment, the lower the rate — from about $14 an hour month to month down to about $12 an hour on the Season. Late Fall is the on-ramp if you're joining once September is already under way.

    What's included
    • Semi-private guidance — work on your own projects with an expert nearby
    • Paints, canvas and brushes provided on the supplies-included rate — or bring your own and pay less
    • A relaxed, social studio — music on, conversation encouraged
    Flexible options — pass cards & monthly subscription
    Want flexibility instead? If a fixed weekly slot doesn't suit your schedule, our pass cards let you buy studio hours and use them whenever you like — no set day, no set time. A reserved slot is the cheapest way to paint here; a pass card costs a little more per hour, and for plenty of people that freedom is worth it. Painting several times a week? Ask us about the Year Unlimited.
    Prefer smaller payments? Subscribe monthly at $171 — it renews automatically, keeps your weekly spot, and you can cancel anytime.
    Our promise: you're never locked in
    If life stops cooperating with your weekly slot, we'll move you to a flexible pass card — your unused classes are credited toward it, and you start at our best 20-hour rate. Nothing you've paid for is ever lost.
    Holidays, closures & make-ups

    We're closed Labour Day (Sept 7), Thanksgiving (Oct 12) and for the winter break Dec 24 – Jan 3; classes resume the week of Jan 4, 2027. Classes do run on Sept 30 and Nov 11. Miss a class? Take it in any other timeslot that week — just let us know at the desk.

    Show your work — Christmas at the Grasby Art Cellar
    Members are invited to exhibit finished work in Christmas at the Grasby Art Cellar, our studio-wide Christmas show — opening night Friday, December 11, with live music and food, and the show hanging in our Art Cellar gallery through the holidays into the new year. Hang it, sell it, or simply see it framed and lit on a gallery wall.
