Welcome to Art School Greenz, the alternative art school in Grenada and the Eastern Caribbean. The name “Greenz” reflects both the informal slang for Grenada and our fresh, relevant approach to art education. We specialize in short, targeted modules designed for working adults who wish to advance their artistic journey.
What sets us apart is our commitment to non-traditional, effective art education. Our tagline, “Minding the gap between secondary school and contemporary art practice,” reflects our mission to cultivate local artists who can engage in the global contemporary art conversation.
Founded in 2015 by Asher Mains, MFA, Art School Greenz began with studio classes in drawing and painting. Since then, we have grown organically, adding artist-teachers and classes based on the needs of local artists. As an unaccredited school, we have the freedom to design courses that are relevant, contextual, and tailored to our students. Classes are often held at Art House 473 in Calliste. Our artist-teachers, many with international reach, bring their expertise and networks, connecting students to the global art world.
While we do not offer formal certification, our classes empower students to:
- Sharpen observation skills
- Enhance problem-solving abilities
- Develop critical thinking
- Communicate visually across disciplines
- Build technical and conceptual skills for creating art
In addition to classes, students benefit from exhibition opportunities, constructive critiques, open studio sessions, and a collaborative community of like-minded peers.
Our affordable, evening classes are perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike. At Art School Greenz, we are dedicated to nurturing art and artists in Grenada. We invite you to join our vibrant community and take your art to the next level.
