Kingston's community art school!
The Kingston School of Art is an independently operated, registered charity
​providing art education to Kingstonians of all ages and stages since 1994. 
Our Spring Term starts... sometime, we hope!
A good motto for this time of staying at home...
"Nulla dies sine linea", Latin for "not a day without a line" (or paint stroke). 
Or how about the Italian phrase "Dolce far niente", the sweetness of doing nothing!
CORONAVIRUS:  In response to the state of emergency announced March 17th by the Province of Ontario, the KSOA is suspending all classes. We are unsure if and when we will be able to offer our spring term, which was to start April 6th. The gallery and office will be closed as of noon, March 24th.  Our staff and volunteers are working from home, so feel free to email us at ksoa@kingston.net, and check this website for updates. We encourage frequent hand washing and social distancing.  If you believe you and your family may have been exposed to the virus in recent travels, we encourage you to self-quarantine for 14 days.  

art share

Part of the pleasure of taking an art course is seeing what the other students are working on. As a way of continuing this, the KSOA is introducing an Art Share slide show on our web page, with a different theme every week or two. 
So... send along an image of a piece of your art that ties in with the first theme: Spring!  Send a jpg file to ksoa@kingston.net with the subject line Art Share, and watch for your work to be included in the slide show. Below is the growing slide show!

Call out for volunteer & PAID models:  
We often need volunteers to model [draped] in our beginners drawing classes. No experience required. If you have an interest in learning how to model, or in lieu of payment perhaps to brush up on your drawing skills, this would be a great opportunity. Contact us at ksoa@kingston.net, Subject Line: model volunteer    
Our Life Drawing Classes use experienced PAID undraped models, contact us at the Kingston School of Art Subject Line: Life Drawing Model if you would like to be added to our list; provide a resume and references please.
