Help us spread the word about our upcoming  
10th Anniversary Gala fundraiser on October 19 
Please send image below to friends, family and/or businesses and  professionals you deal with on a regular basis. We are asking for your assistance in promoting the event because it would be so fantastic to get some people at our celebration who are new to VISA.
Collage: Studies in Composition
Sunday, October 5, 1pm - 4pm

In this workshop you will work with simple materials and tools such as coloured and patterned papers, scissors and glue. These are all you need to create exciting and vibrant compositions. Working with a 'paper palette' of colours and patterns is the most immediate way to arrange various elements on a picture plane. Overview of the basic principles of design and how to implement them in collage compositions will be covered.

This workshop is perfect for you if you are looking for new ways to approach the design of your work, or if you want an easy, stress-free way to do something creative.

Suitable for beginners.

Instructor: Wendy Welch
Fee: $65 (materials included)

Update on Beautification Project
We are almost at the half way point of our fundraising goal of $10,000 for the beautification of the school. We are in need of more funds to paint the
front entrance area and to purchase materials for the
VISA letters to be mounted on the front. 

Below is Xane St Phillip's design sketch for the north side of the building.
