CAMP 2026: We are experiencing difficulties with our camp online registration system due to a high volume of users and registrations. For this reason, we have created an alternative solution for the first week of registration for camp. Please fill out this form to reserve your spot for camp.

The Visual Arts Centre is comprised of the School of Art, the McClure Gallery, focused on contemporary art, and ARTreach, a community art outreach program. We have been part of Tiohtià:ke - Mooniyang - Montreal’s artistic community for nearly 80 years.
