Explore new techniques, expand your portfolio and work with inspiring instructors at Emily Carr's Summer programs for Teens!

Teen Programs at Emily Carr University of Art + Design offer excellent preparation for post-secondary education and future careers. Through hands-on art-making you will have access to experienced instruction and Emily Carr’s amazing studios, equipment, and community.

If you would like to learn more, join us on Saturday, February 22nd for our Teen Programs Open House. We will kick off at 12 pm with an info session, where you'll get all the details about our exciting Summer programs:

Summer Institute for Teens (SIT)

This pre-university, immersive, one-month experience attracts high school students from across Canada and around the world. You'll engage in intensive studio practice, where you'll develop their skills and technique and create new work for your portfolio. If you are between 16 and 18 (or will have finished Grade 10 by July), join us and ready yourself for further education at an art and design university.

Junior Art Intensive (JAI)

If you are between the ages of 13 and 15, you can join us to explore 2D and 3D art-making in this two-week summer program. You will learn from professional art instructors and gain hands-on experience with a range of projects and materials. The Junior Art Intensive will help you build foundational knowledge, develop your skills and prepare you for the Summer Institute for Teens.

After the info session, you will have a chance to check out a demo from our SIT Textiles Studio, and go on a 30-minute tour of our campus.

Come hang out with us and connect with other teens interested in art!
