Welcome to Paintbox Art School!
The unique program offered at Paintbox provides people of all ages with stimulating art activities during the school term, on Saturday mornings and during school holidays throughout the year.
Paintbox is based on the belief that everyone is an artist with a creative mind, we just need to be shown the techniques to express ourselves individually. Paintbox has earned a solid reputation for offering a well organised, professional and high quality drawing and painting program.
