Vacances Arts Nature

Vacances Arts Nature is a Canadian summer arts school founded in 2012 and based in the Eastern Townships of Québec, Canada. The organization offers intensive, hands-on workshops for adults in visual arts, fine crafts, writing, and a variety of other creative endeavours. Programs are led by established professional artists and emphasize creative exploration, skill development, and meaningful exchange. In collaboration with the Collège François-Delaplace (CFD), Vacances Arts Nature (VAN) is launching a call for applications for its brand-new artist-in-residence program, Création et transmission (Creation and Knowledge Sharing), offered as part of the College’s Multi-Arts Option. These creation and teaching residencies are intended for artists who wish to develop a personal project while sharing their artistic approach and expertise with high school students. Selected artists are provided with a dedicated studio space, accommodation, and most meals, within the College itself, located in the charming town of Waterville. In return, artists commit to leading workshops for students who are enrolled in the arts program and supervising studio sessions.
