Artventures Toronto Parliament — Visual Arts

We recently attended the Artventures Toronto Parliament visual arts program with my 6-year-old, Emily. The weekly classes were well-structured, and Emily was excited to explore different mediums like pottery and canvas painting. Her instructor, Sara, was engaging and genuinely encouraged all the kids to express themselves creatively. Emily ended up making a colorful painting that she can’t wait to show her friends. The environment felt inclusive, and it was nice to see kids of various ages working together. However, the pickup process could be a bit chaotic at times, especially when the classes ended, as there were many parents waiting to collect their kids. Overall, it was a solid experience, and I would recommend it for parents looking to spark creativity in their children, just be prepared for a little bit of wait time at the end.

I took my 6-year-old to Artventures Toronto Parliament for the visual arts classes, and overall, it was a solid experience. My child loved creating a colorful canvas painting under the guidance of an enthusiastic instructor named Sarah, who really engaged the kids. The program fosters creativity in a relaxed atmosphere, which I appreciated. However, the check-in and pickup process could be smoother; we faced long lines both times, which was a bit frustrating after class. Luckily, Sarah kept the kids entertained while waiting, which helped. My child even made a friend during the session! I would recommend this program, especially for families looking to explore art together, just be prepared for potential delays during pickup.
