Lunenburg School of the Arts offers workshops led by professional art educators and working artists. Our small and intimate class sizes allow students to work closely with instructors and each other, fostering self-expression in a supportive atmosphere. We offer courses in a wide variety of mediums, our programs encourage exploration, discovery and development of skills and ideas. We are located in the heart of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site, a hub for arts and music. With its historic townscape and a working waterfront, the Town of Lunenburg is our campus.
Our School is committed to being a community that welcomes and respects everyone and is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination.
The mission of our School is to make instruction in the arts available to the public. We do want to finances to obstruct that access, and if students are in need they can seek assistance in confidence by contacting our Operations Coordinator by email at learn@lunenburgarts.org or by phone at (902) 640-2013.
