New summer courses at Haliburton School of The Arts
Haliburton School of The Arts’ (HSTA) popular summer school is back this year with more than 60 new courses and workshops for all ages. With hundreds of lakes surrounded by rolling hills and breathtaking vistas, the Highlands of Haliburton are the ideal setting for an art school. The inspiring surroundings and courses within HSTA’s schedule kindle a creative vigour that can be motivating and energizing or reflective and relaxing. HSTA’s summer program spans the calendar, ages, skill levels, and the seemingly unrestrained range of techniques and media. This success and reputation for excellence are largely attributed to the remarkable instructors – instructors who are working artists and bring a unique ability to relate, yet challenge. Central to everyone’s efforts are the students. New students, returning students, second or third generation students – all become part of the creative energy that is the Haliburton School of The Arts. With an eclectic and extensive variety of courses offered at a range of skill levels, there’s something for everyone. Retreat on your own, have a getaway with friends, or bring the family.
