Teens build real technique across drawing, colour and painting in several mediums — developing their own style and, for older students, work toward a portfolio. Classes are grouped by age so teens work alongside peers at a similar stage. Choose how much to commit: come once, month to month, a term at a time, or lock in the whole school year — the more you commit, the less every class costs.
The Season Pass
35–36 classes · October through June · $1,288–$1,325 ($36.80/class)

“I will be attending Vancouver Island University in the fall for Interior Design, thanks to the help of everyone at Grasby Art Studio… I made pieces I am really proud of and learned so much.”
— Lauryn L., portfolio student

Just want to try one class first? Grab a single drop-in — and bring a friend along to try it together; teens settle in fastest alongside someone they know. If you continue, we'll help you move up to a pass.
