Artmania

Artmania ART AND PERFORMING ART CLASSES FOR KIDS, TEENS, AND ADULTS! artmania offers fun and exciting art classes in all areas of art for children, teens and adults.

Our home base is a beautiful architect-designed North Vancouver studio, providing the creative setting for a hands-on art experience through classes and workshops. Or have us come to you for zoom classes, private classes, workshops and events. With our partnership with The West Vancouver Community centre. Artmania also teaches art programs out of our studio at the silk purse art centre by the sea in the heart of Ambleside, West Vancouver. For the past 21 years we have been offering many classes at local schools. We love our group of mobile schools with their great supportive faculty, volunteers and students and look forward to returning when our present health crisis permits us to do so!

Today we remember Frank Gehry and the bold creativity he brought to the world. Inspired by his vision, our students at Hastings Elementary — our fall artist-in-residency site — and our after-school classes created these imaginative sculptures. We share their work as a heartfelt tribute. Thank you, Frank — and thank you to our young artists for carrying his spirit forward.
