Who are we

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice.

At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity.

As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

Edgar Morin once said that ‘ideas are like virus.’ If we equate surrealist art to a virus, then Canada’s immune system was very strong! While the surrealist system was born in1924 in France, Canada was not ready to accept surrealist art until around 1944. Continue reading The arrival of Surrealism in Canada
