Imagine yourself creating and discovering in an old, restored Victorian mansion – that's the Avenue Road Arts School. Art will surround you, as you explore the three-story mansion. Step into the artistically transformed washrooms and visit places like Dinosaurland and a Medieval Castle. Join teachers and students at our public events throughout the year. Come visit the Avenue Road Arts School and see what all the magic is about!

Help us with our Green Initiative Challenge and Receive a Gift

Until March 22, 2010

Every year, we find that we are printing fewer paper copies of our brochure. In our effort to go green and with the majority of our registrations coming via the website, it is our hope that, at one point, we can eliminate the need for a print version of our programming roster. With spring approaching and a few thousand copies left, we would love to ensure that these brochures are used for the purpose in which they were created and not just simply recycled.

The Challenge: Help us distribute and use up the last few thousand of these printed brochures! Come to the Arts School office by March 22, 2010*. Pick up at least 10 brochures and hand them out to friends, family, colleagues, neighbours etc. Our gift to you for helping to put these brochures to good use will be your choice of an Avenue Road Arts School apron, t-shirt or sweat shirt.

*This is a special event, which will be discontinued after March 2010.
