McTavish Academy Of Art

Creativity is experimenting, taking risks, breaking rules,
making mistakes, and having fun.

Create with us!

McTavish Academy Of Art resides in a former elementary school building in North Saanich. The 18,000 sq. foot space has been transformed into a vibrant and inclusive creative arts facility.

A place to explore your creativity, discover new passions and experience a variety of events and activities. We strive to provide space for our growing community to feel empowered and encouraged to express themselves through art, movement and community engagement.

“My family ordered these kits for Christmas! They were our favourite craft so far and came with more than enough supplies for us – no stress at all about running out! Great craftsmanship, looking forward to ordering next year!”

Testimonials

Here’s what our happy students had to say about McTavish Academy:

MAOA is one of my favourite places on the Peninsula to host events. Writing Workshops, Creative Classes, Speaker Series, Fundraisers, Kids Camps and Birthday Parties. They do it all! Looking forward to more in the very near future. Sean is incredibly accommodating and very helpful.

A true hidden gem of a place! We love all it has to offer for our family- from Yoga, Arts, and Dance, we have all benefitted from the amazing classes and even MORE amazing instructors and staff. There is always a smiling face to greet you at the door, and give you a high five on your way out. We love MAOA!
