Emerging Arts Academy is Calgary’s only full-year fine arts program for kids. With four levels of art education, students explore a variety of mediums in a small class setting. This year, our older groups are focused on sketching, helping young artists build strong foundational skills. Creative, supportive, and skill-based—this is where Calgary’s young artists grow.
Pinnovate DIY Art Studio is the proud winner of the City of Calgary’s Access Award (2021), Calgary’s Child Magazine for Children’s inclusive art programs (2019), and featured in the Globe and Mail.
