AGO Adult Studio Courses

Hello Everyone - I hope you enjoyed Michael Bica's images during our April 15 members night showing. Here is some addtional information on the course that Michael spoke about.

As you may or may not know, the AGO Adult Studio courses have been cancelled in anticipation of the construction of The Weston Learning Centre to be opened in the Fall of 2011. As a result some of the instructors in the Adult Studio program have taken the initiative of establishing a site where art classes can continue. The site is at 230 Queen Street West in a space above El Mundo gift shop.

Two photography courses that may interest you:

  • Tuesday evening 7-10: Advanced Photography of the Figure
  • Wednesday evening 7-10: Introductory Photography

The courses are eight weeks in duration commencing May 3 and ending June 28. There is space for as many as 15 students in each course. The cost is $275 including GST.

The same courses will be offered during the Summer Session, commencing July 5 and ending August 30.

If you are interested in these courses for the Spring Session please email as soon as possible to register.

For more inquirines on registration and course offerings. Please contact:
