A note from our Executive Director

For 30+ years the Art School of Peterborough has offered the Peterborough community opportunities to explore their creativity and build their visual art skills. Founded in 1993 by Richard Hayman as a not-for-profit organization, his dedication to the arts and spirit lives on through The Art School.

I welcome you into our creative community. It is a safe place to take creative risks for all ages.
