The Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba is launching a new series of community art classes in Brandon, Manitoba, starting April 16, 2026. These sessions run through May 28, 2026, and provide residents with opportunities to build creative skills in a guided studio environment.
The spring program includes several instructor-led classes such as youth clay modelling and portrait painting. Local instructors Duane Claridge, Chris Reid, and Dhairya Vaidya will lead various sessions for different age groups, including specific classes for children and teens.
One specific course, the Adult Clay-Raku class taught by Kevin Conlin, is already full for the upcoming season. The gallery is currently accepting names for a waitlist for those who still want to participate in the pottery program.
Residents can choose between guided lessons for drawing and painting, or self-directed studio sessions for drawing and printmaking. The gallery offers tiered pricing for all classes, with discounted rates available for those who hold a gallery membership.
