ABOUT US
Whether you’re a beginner doodler or an expert artist, the McGill Students' Visual Arts Society welcomes you! Events are hosted weekly and include live model drawing, tutorials, Open Sketch, watercolour and acrylic sessions, and the occasional field trip! An annual conference is held near the end of the Fall semester and our Year-End Art Show is held near the end of the Winter semester, where all members can submit and display their artwork. Art supplies and materials are provided by the club during in-person events.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I become a member / join the club?
For the VAS, there's two options. You can either attend events at your will or you can purchase a year-long membership for $10 at our next event. The membership provides prepaid access to supplies for one academic year.
How do I connect with McGill groups across campus seeking artists?
The best way to connect to groups is through our Facebook group: McGill Visual Arts Society. Ask to join, answer the questions and then you'll be put through a brief approval process. Clubs in McGill and beyond submit call-outs so this is great way to see what's up on campus in regards to art submissions.
