On March 2nd, Fleming College released its highly-anticipated 2026 Haliburton School of Art + Design (HSAD) course calendar, featuring a cover designed by award-winning artist and HSAD instructor Kat Honey. Inspired by the School's iconic red doors, the 2026 calendar introduces a curated mix of creative workshops, courses, and programs designed to ignite artistic talent across all skill levels.
A new line up of HSAD courses span a variety of disciplines including quilting, glasswork, ceramics, music, podcasting, art commerce, and jewellery design. New courses, like Brushworks: A Weekly Painting Series, start as early as March 25.
For aspiring young artists, HSAD brings back March Break options for all ages and Youth Art Camps in July and August, giving youth a chance to discover new interests and access professional-grade studios.
For Spring and Summer 2026, the HSAD residence will open to Continuing Education learners, expanding access to a convenient and immersive on-campus experience. More information will be available in the coming weeks, with tours offered during the HSAD open house on Saturday, April 11.
The calendar is also an invitation for the public to engage with the arts through a variety of scheduled events:
- Wednesday Afternoon Walks, Talks & Demos: Insightful presentations from world-class guest artists in a variety of locations including the Sculpture Forest.
- Thursday Night Entertainment: Live performances and social gatherings in the iconic Great Hall. Studios and classrooms will be open before entertainment starts, giving visitors a chance to view student art projects and learn about HSAD courses.
There is much more to explore inside this year's calendar. Whether you're looking to discover a new hobby, master a craft, pivot to a new creative career, or simply join us for entertainment and silent auctions in support of student bursaries, the 2026 HSAD course calendar is your gateway to endless fun and creativity.
A digital version of the 2026 HSAD Course Calendar is available. Print copies are available at Fleming's Sutherland (Peterborough), Frost (Lindsay), and Haliburton campuses.
