Instructor Natasha Sacobie partners with the Charlotte St. Arts Center for an eight week course dedicated to uplifting and empowering indigenous high school artists grades ten through twelve.
The objective of these weekend sessions is to empower proficient teenage artists with entrepreneurial skills and insights to excel in their chosen art forms, while guiding them towards a successful and sustainable artistic career. Students will ultimately have new works showcased at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery as well as the Harriet Irving Library. Only five students will be admitted into the course.
The course will consist of eight sessions, each lasting two hours. Students will meet Sunday afternoons from 1pm to 3pm at the Charlotte St. Arts Centre. The course is completely free for selected applicants. We are able to offer this class through the generous support of the Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation.

We are committed to providing opportunities to First Nation members and fostering their participation. However, should the number of qualified applicants from First Nation communities not meet our target, we reserve the right to extend this opportunity to the public.
