Workshops & Education in Surrey

Many artists, and creative professionals offer workshops for the public to gain knowledge, and skill in a variety of areas. Some of us find immersing ourselves in arts and culture inspires us to participate and create works of our own and through the engaged teaching process we can begin to master new skills and experiences that will enable our own creative growth. It has been said that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in any skill. That breaks down to 4 hours a day, 5 days a week for over eight years. Needless to say, learning something on your own to the point of mastery just isn’t realistic for most of us. The perfect alternative is to spend a concentrated amount of time with someone who is already a master! Develop new skills quickly under the guidance of professional artists and masters of craft.

Situated between the Fraser River and the U.S. border, the city of Surrey is currently the fastest-growing city in the Metro Vancouver area and is set to surpass Vancouver in the near future. Due to its high population, Surrey offers a lot to explore in terms of art and culture. The Museum of Surrey consists of the main building and three heritage buildings on the east side of the museum. The museum’s mission is to connect the diverse population of the city and celebrate its past, present, and future. The Surrey Art Gallery is another major attraction. The gallery specializes in digital art, with over 10,000 local and international artists having shown their work here. The Surrey Art Gallery Association gift shop is a great addition to the gallery experience and offers a wide selection of unique and finely crafted items. Additionally, Surrey has a significant East Indian influence, which is reflected in dining, with the Surrey Spice Trail being a major guide to dining in the city, featuring some of the best restaurants. With its diverse and rapidly growing population, Surrey has a lot to explore!
