Welcome to Digital Art

Our Digital Arts program, part of the Arts Connected Regional Arts Program (RAP), is a place where creativity and innovation flourish in a welcoming and inclusive environment. We invite students from across the GTA to join us as we explore new ideas, experiment with different media, and develop unique artistic processes. For students not in the Regional Arts Program, we also offer Digital Art classes that are open to everyone at St. Elizabeth CHS, designed to inspire and develop your artistic skills.

Here, you are invited to explore new ideas, embrace challenges, and share your unique voice with confidence. Join us in building skills, pushing boundaries, and inspiring others through your art.

Imagine. Create. Inspire.
