North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre — Visual Arts

I took my 6-year-old to the Visual Arts program at the North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre in Calgary last week. The instructor, Sarah, was incredibly engaging and kept the kids focused on their projects. My child loved painting their own small canvas of a sunset, and it was great to see them so excited about creating art. The group size was small, which allowed for more one-on-one attention from Sarah. However, I did notice that the check-in process was a bit chaotic, with long lines forming as parents dropped off their kids. Despite this small annoyance, I felt my child was in a supportive environment. Overall, I think the program is a solid choice for creative kids looking to explore visual arts, but be prepared for some potential waiting time at pickup.

My daughter, who is 9 and quite creative, attended the visual arts program at North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre in Calgary last week. She was thrilled to work on her painting project, which turned out to be a colorful landscape. The instructor, Sarah, was very engaging and seemed to genuinely connect with the kids, encouraging them to express their unique styles. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which was fantastic. However, the pickup was a bit chaotic due to the number of parents arriving at the same time, making it feel crowded. Despite that, I think it’s a great option for kids who love to create, and we’ll likely return next week. Just be prepared for some hustle at pickup!
