THE SCHOOL

REACH YOUR CAREER GOALS WITH CANVAS

Canvas brings to creative candidates in "Visual Arts" the solution to embrace a career in the fields of FASHION and DESIGN. Founded more than 25 years ago in the heart of Lausanne (French-speaking part of Switzerland), Canvas School of Arts has undergone significant and sustainable development over the past 15 years. Its founders, initially trained in Swiss Higher Education Schools, are passionate about Design and Pedagogy, thus the Canvas School of Arts emerged.

The Canvas School of Arts is recognized by all professions, Swiss state bodies (IOC, AI…) but also on an international level (FEDE, UNO, European Council…).
