Notre Dame Des Arts

Notre Dame Des Arts fosters community through art, offering workshops, exhibitions, and events that celebrate creativity and cultural exchange. Their mission is to inspire and engage individuals in the arts, promoting inclusivity and artistic expression.

MINIMUM AGE: 13+ Our two-week fashion workshop is a hands-on, style-forward experience designed for teens ready to explore creativity through clothing. Based out of Notre-Dame-des-Arts, the program blends guided thrifting trips with hands-on clothing modification sessions. Each session kicks off with a new set of themes and challenges, presented by our workshop mentors to inspire participants to think outside the box and bring fresh energy to their designs. Teens will work toward creating 2&ndash;3 complete &ldquo;looks,&rdquo; each built around a different concept, using thrifted finds and their own custom touches. By the end of the workshop, everyone will have the chance to walk the runway and showcase their creations in a fashion show for friends and family to celebrate their growth, style, and individuality.&nbsp; Approximate Schedule Breakdown:&nbsp;Day 1: Introductory Session, Presenting Outfit Challenges, BrainstormingDay 2: First Thrifting Day trip!Day 3: Sewing Machine Lesson, Clothing ModificationsDay 4: Thrifting Day #2Day 5: Try on Day and Clothing ModificationsDay 6: Thrifting Day #3Days 7-10: TBD Based on Progress. Finishing Outfits and Modifications! Preparing for Fashion Show.&nbsp;This session will be similar in structure to the other two in the sense that participants will receive challenges and create outfits based on these over the two weeks leading to a fashion show to showcase their work. However, the challenges will be more focused on sewing than curating a look through second hand finds. Trips will be more tailored towards finding fabric than second hand clothing. Schedule TBD but likely only two day trips to allow for an extra sewing day and more of a focus on fabric retailers.Must Haves:&nbsp;&middot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Lunch&middot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Opus/Bus Money for Outings&middot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Water Bottle&middot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Reusable Bag on Thrift Days (we&rsquo;ll&middot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Sunscreen&middot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Journal/Notebook for Ideas

Pendant cinq jours, les participants concevront et construiront un monde de quartier en expansion &mdash; des b&acirc;timents historiques de NDG, aux espaces verts et &agrave; la vie communautaire (oui, m&ecirc;me des dindes errantes 🦃), en passant par le mouvement et les transports comme les autobus et les v&eacute;los. Au lieu de projets individuels &agrave; emporter, tout le travail contribue &agrave; une &oelig;uvre d&#39;art &agrave; grande &eacute;chelle unique qui sera r&eacute;v&eacute;l&eacute;e lors d&#39;une exposition publique et d&#39;une collecte de fonds &agrave; la fin de la semaine. Les places sont tr&egrave;s limit&eacute;es pour maintenir le groupe petit et pratique.

NOTRE Dame de Grace: Notre quartier en sculpture

♻️🎨 OUR NDG &mdash; March Break Recycled Sculpture Week Ages 8&ndash;14 | Limited spots | 9:00 a.m. &ndash; 4:00 p.m. | Bring a lunch Join NDA for a week-long, small-group art experience where youth collaborate to build one giant recycled-sculpture installation inspired by Notre-Dame-de-Gr&acirc;ce. Over five days, participants will design and construct a growing neighbourhood world &mdash; from historic NDG buildings, to green spaces and community life (yes, even roaming turkeys 🦃), to movement and transit like buses and bikes. Instead of individual take-home projects, all work contributes to a single large-scale artwork that will be revealed at a public exhibition and fundraiser at the end of the week. Spots are very limited to keep the group small and hands-on. Children attend the full week, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily, and must bring their own lunch. 🎟️ Tiered registration (self-selected):<ul data-end="1141" data-start="1047" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li data-end="1066" data-start="1047" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Community: $150</li><li data-end="1085" data-start="1067" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Standard: $225</li><li data-end="1141" data-start="1086" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Supporter: $275 (helps make community spots possible)</li></ul>🎉 Public Exhibit: The completed installation, OUR NDG: Notre-Dame-de-Gr&acirc;ces in Sculpture, will be open to families and the community with pay-what-you-can entry, celebrating youth creativity while raising funds to support NDA&rsquo;s accessible arts programming.

See differently: sharpen your observation and visual awareness. Build an image: discover how lines and simple shapes come together to create form and space. Create depth &amp; dimension: use light, proportion, and perspective to make drawings feel alive. Find your visual voice: move beyond simply drawing what you see and use drawing to express your own ideas and imagination. 8 weekly classes starting Oct 9th; 7-9 PM
