Teaching Art to Everyone!

'Teaching Art to Everyone!' is our slogan and year after year we get the opportunity to welcome students into the Ottawa School of Art (OSA) from all over the world. The OSA is located downtown in the nation’s capital, offering plenty of cultural activities to do year round. There are plenty of affordable living options in Ottawa and since the OSA is centrally located, it makes it easy to get to by public transportation, by cycling, and by foot. Tuition fees for international students are modest and can be found here. 
   
The Diploma Program offers students a unique program of intensive, hands-on, well-structured training in the fine art tradition of drawing, painting and sculpture. Over three-years of full time study, students learn to hone their visual expression based on their own concerns and experiences. Starting with a challenging, well-designed foundation year, through to advanced studios, apprenticeships and exhibition opportunities, students find and develop their capacity for creative thinking. The ability to think creatively puts our students ahead of the wave.

The Portfolio Certificate Program offers students a unique program of intensive, hands-on, well-structured training in the fine art tradition of drawing, painting and sculpture. Through a challenging, well-designed year of full time study, OSA students gain confidence and an understanding of what a professional portfolio contains and how to present their ideas in an interview.
