ART CIRCUIT is coming to the Tannery September 9! Think outdoor Art Battle with a twist! Instead of competing against each other, Art Circuit is a collaboration where each artist moves around a circuit of easels and works together on paintings based on themes suggested earlier by the audience-with a time limit at each easel.
Get in the Circuit and cheer on the artists as they bring your ideas to life!
The resulting one-of-a-kind paintings are available for silent auction and 100% of profits from the paintings are split among the participating artists!

Some experience is required – this class is about developing your own practice – not full-time instruction.
This class has been developed in honour of Jay Dampf – a long time instructor at Sunbury Shores – as an opportunity for his previous students to meet as they so often have, to share time, have dedicated time for their practice, and receive individual guidance and assistance from an experienced instructor. We cannot replace Jay, but we can continue in his spirit!
Students will bring their own work – either in progress or ready to start. The studio is available for own practice during the mornings, with the afternoons offering the opportunity to have individual time with Theresa MacKnight regarding particular questions around techniques, composition, subject etc. Group time will also involve general discussion around such subjects, peer group discussion/crits and encouragement around each other’s work to encourage sharing of knowledge and fun!
SSANC Membership discounts apply. Bursaries are available – click here to apply.
