Vernon Community Arts Centre - Vernon, British Columbia

I have been going the Arts Centre since June 2024. I took their beginner clay throwing class and I cannot say enough about this place. Earlier in the year I took two similar beginner courses at a different studio in Kelowna. It did not even compare. I only took the course with VAC so I could use their facilities, however, I left their course with a real skill and unlearned some bad habits. I have now made 71 vessels since June. This place is welcoming and fosters connections between participants. We are so lucky to have a place like this in our community. I have taken four classes here and already signed up for two in the new year. There is always something to learn. Thank you for making art accessible and creating a safe place for people to come together to create!

Just finished the 2 day fused glass wind chime class. Patricia,the instructor was knowledgeable and so helpful and patient. I have a tremor which restricts my ability to do fine movements and she helped me to do the things I couldn't.
Thank you Patricia!

I recently took the "Fused Glass Bowl" class. The class was amazing and fun! The instructor, Patricia was outstanding. I had never worked with glass prior to the session. Patricia's instructions were clear, she was constantly available to guide me through the process and was very patient with this newbie 🙂 I would highly recommend this class.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! The staff and so helpful and understanding of newbies to the arts. They were open to new ideas and answering all the questions we had with grace. The management of VCAC is so well done and all communication was very clear as we were setting up our workshops and working out the details for Creatrix Rising. Honestly could not have asked for a better community Partner for this first time run. Thank you all at VCAC.

Absolutely incredible facility and art class offerings for all ages, abilities, and talents!! I've learned clay handbuilding, alcohol inks, stained glass, fused glass, hot glass beads, paper mache, acrylic paint, watercolor, needlefelting... and there are still so many things to learn!

Definitely worth checking out as they also host a ton of free family workshops on holiday weekends and such!

The Artsolutely Holiday Market was phenomenal! We had a fabulous time exploring various medium of beautiful art and met many lovely people. The atmosphere was so calm and relaxing. The talent shown from each artisan was mind-blowing and I feel fortunate to have been able to see their creations.
Thank you for this opportunity! We will be back 🙂

I have taken several classes at the arts center. From the front desk staff to the instructors everyone has been amazing. They are all super friendly and knowledgeable. And if you are worried about covid they have reorganized to allow for social distance and have great safe guards in place. If i could rate higher than 5 stars I would

What a gem. So lucky to have VCAC in our community. Reasonably priced art supplies, classes happening all the time. A great hub for community art and artists.
