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 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.
