The state-of-the art facilities in the new Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts have transformed the way we create, study, and learn in the Department of Visual Arts.

Inspiring facilities and creative atmosphere.
Our classroom spaces include a darkroom; a digital media lab; and separate foundation, drawing, and painting studios. Our new art gallery is also an important teaching space where students have the opportunity to view art, to exhibit their own work, and to learn about the “behind the scenes” operations of an exhibition space. Small class sizes ensure students receive individual guidance and timely feedback on their work, and a location in downtown St. Catharines puts them in the heart of a thriving and vibrant arts community.
“The smaller studio and class sizes allowed me to make great connections with my professors and the VISA faculty.”
