  • DIPLOMA IN FINE ARTS STUDIO
  • Centennial College's Fine Arts Studio program is an intensive two-year offering that emphasizes physically creating art through drawing, painting and sculpting.

    By (literally) getting your hands dirty, you'll learn the latest skills and techniques, find your own creative voice and be prepared to launch your career as an artist. You'll spend more time in the studio in two years at Centennial than other schools offer in four!

    In addition to covering the creative process, this arts diploma program features one of Ontario's most comprehensive professional practice curriculums. You'll graduate well-prepared to thrive as a self-employed artist in the professional arts community.

    In this Fine Arts Studio program, you'll:

  • Develop advanced technical, conceptual and professional skills required to engage the contemporary arts community;
  • Work independently both in and out of the studio environment;
  • Receive lots of one-on-one attention;
  • Begin to nurture a lifetime of growth as a professional visual artist and storyteller;
  • Have a progressive learning experience led by a collaborative team of teachers;
  • Be encouraged to develop a personal direction and approach to build your own unique voice and style in visual storytelling.
  • The Fine Arts Studio program is for you if you're serious about practicing as a professional. As a candidate, you should have meaningful prior experience, either through education, a lifetime personal commitment and/or the professional equivalent.

    Program Highlights

  • The Fine Arts program frequently receives awards from both the dean and the College's president for student satisfaction.
  • A focus on traditional media, with selective integration of digital processes, will give you the skills to thrive as a professional in the contemporary art world.
  • You'll learn all about the business of being an artist, including getting shows and commissions, applying for grants, marketing yourself and building your career.
  • In-school galleries will allow for the opportunity to exhibit your work.
  • You'll be exposed to professional exhibition opportunities, where the sales are real. Public exposure is also offered through rental programs.
  • Your individual creative growth will receive attention in a studio environment.
  • Enthusiastic faculty members are all accomplished professional artists and teach by drawing from their personal experiences.
  • The Story Arts Centre, where you'll attend your classes, is close to the heart of the city and gallery communities but offers a welcoming non-institutional environment.
