Portfolio Club after school art program

For serious young artists

Our After School Art Program on the Danforth in Toronto is perfect for kids who want to have fun and enjoy making art, but what about when kids have mastered foundational art skills? 

We’ve launched Portfolio Club to create an educational environment with professional artist instructors supporting youth to deepen their creative skills and build their artistic voice. It’s an inspiring space for students to develop a portfolio of work they can use to apply to specialized programs in high school and beyond. 

Students are welcomed by invitation or application to ensure we provide a positive and supportive environment for everyone.

Experienced Instructors

Youth-centred Program

Program Overview

Our Portfolio Club aims to build a creative community among young teens. We provide a convenient and fun way to take advanced art classes that fit around other interests your child may have.

To join Portfolio Club, students are either invited by one of our instructors or can submit an application. We expect that students are independent and responsible, treating each other, the staff, the studio and tools with respect and care. 

Students are welcome to join at any point through the school year, if we have space available. Please note this is a small group program, limited to ten students per day.
