Forum Art Centre is a workplace that respects all of my identities. I am welcome, included and accommodated! Our ED invited me to collaborate with her to design a role that plays to my strengths and accommodates my disability and the medical needs of myself and my family.

I started in the Fall of 2008 on the suggestion from my sister, Mildred. Forum is my home away from home, a place to explore my creative side. I have met many new friends who share my passion for art. I enjoy our fun, social gatherings where we advise and praise each other's art!

Forum Art Centre is a hidden gem in our arts community. The quality of art instruction is top notch and along side with the best of them. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and unpretentious. Forum Art caters to all age groups. It's never too late to learn.

Many years ago I painted at the Forum under Nik's guidance...I shall always be grateful for knowing him and his wisdom in founding such a creative atmosphere for students... As I enjoy his painting it shall not only "teach" me as I study his "technique" but inspire me to paint on.

Vera McLean

Forum is a friendly place where art is loved and encouraged. There is a sincere desire to help both beginners and more advanced artists develop their gift.

I love coming to Clay class. I don't have to be a mom, or a wife or be any one of my roles. When I come to class, I just get to be me and be with my friends. It's my therapy.

I've take several classes in a range of mediums and with a range of instructors varying from new to very experienced teachers. Every course I've learned something significant and been happy with the outcome. I'm very grateful for this centre and highly recommend. (edited for length)
