Part-time Summer and Fall Programs
If you can imagine it, we likely have it! Choose from 350 diverse offerings throughout the spring, summer and fall.
The Haliburton School of The Arts has provided arts courses in a vast range of mediums and at all skill levels for over 40 years. This year's program is an exciting blend of perennial favourites and fresh new offerings.
The Haliburton campus is nestled in a lakeside park setting, surrounded by the Haliburton Sculpture Forest. The lakes, forests and rolling hills of the Highlands of Haliburton provide the perfect inspirational setting for an art school. In addition to our Haliburton program, we're pleased to be returning to Huntsville this summer. We will be offering week-long courses at the Waterloo Summit Centre for the Environment for three weeks in July. See the Huntsville course calendar to the right. There are also opportunities at OCAD University in Toronto and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg. You will find these offerings within the Haliburton course calendar on this page.
All of our adult, weeklong credited courses can be applied as credits toward completing the Visual and Creative Arts diploma, Generalist Option.
