DONATE CANCEL RECURRING DONATIONS Donate through PayPal Giving Fund DONATE Create your community Make Your Community Better Donate to the Vancouver Island School of Art People come to VISA to learn about art, but the school provides a much more vital function. VISA is a place where people can come together to connect, make friends and to be part of a social network. The World Health Organization recently started a Commission of Social Connection because loneliness and lack of social connection have become a major epidemic with serious health consequences. The part about the school that does not come across on our website or social media posts, is that one of the most important things that happens at VISA, is the daily connections people make with each other in every class, whether in-person or online. Life-long connections are an everyday occurrence at VISA. Creating a space for social connections is one of the most important roles VISA offers to the local and wider community. Please consider making a donation of any size. Donations from the community ensure that VISA not only survives, but also continues to thrive and provide a much needed place of connection for all sectors of society. Part of your donation will go towards our Live Longer with Art program which provides seniors on low or reduced income with subsidized or free art courses and workshops. If you know of a senior that could benefit from having social connection through an art course or workshop at VISA, please encourage them to fill out our “Live Longer with Art” application form (below) for a subsidized or free-of-charge art learning experience. VISA is a post-secondary independent art school founded in 2004 by artist and instructor, Wendy Welch. During its first ten years of development, the school has achieved accreditation with PTIB (Private Training Institutions Branch of the Ministry of Advanced Education), as well as transfer agreements with two degree-granting institutions: Emily Carr University of Art + Design and Vancouver Island University. Students can transfer credits from our Certificate program to receive university degrees in art. VISA is a non-profit, charitable organization with Revenue Canada and is run by a Board of Directors consisting of professionals from the Victoria community. The VISA faculty have graduate degrees in art. Registered Charity #86392 1433 RR0001 Help VISA make the world a better place, one person at a time.
