"You don’t have to be great to start,
but you have to start to be great!"
Zig Ziglar
Some folks are fine to stand back and take it all in, but if you're like us then you love getting in on all the action - and you'll find plenty of that here in the Municipality of Chester. So you can head home with a scarf you knit, a candle you crafted or a painting you created in the great outdoors.
Throughout the year the Chester Art Centre offer classes and workshops taught by working professional artists in diverse mediums. They also exhibit the work of local, national and international artists and present the annual Donald Curley Lecture Series. Their programs encourage adults, youth and children to learn new skills, take risks and have fun. Their mission is to stretch imaginations, awaken curiosity, and energize the inner artist, by inspiring, fostering and sharing the thrill of creative self-expression - and they're doing just that!
Check out one of many creative courses the Chester Art Centre is hosting throughout 2021. The Adult Workshops include everything from water colours and oil pastels to fibre art, photography, cold wax and painting with paper. For details on the complete Adult program click here.
Grown-ups aren't the only ones getting artistic this season. The Chester Art Centre will once again host their annual Art Camps for Kids - with week-ong half day classes in everything from painting and smudging to print making and plaster casting.
