The story
About Visual Arts Mississauga at Riverwood
Founded in 1977, Visual Arts Mississauga is a not-for-profit charitable arts organization in The Riverwood Conservancy. The centre concentrates its efforts on three pillars: Art Education, Art Exhibition and Community Outreach. Programs include studio arts courses in drawing, painting, ceramics and mixed media for kids, teens and adults, as well as art camps, exhibitions and residencies for emerging artists. The facility was designed by architect Brian Brownlie with slate and cedar exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows in studio classrooms.
