Anglican church The Frelighsburg area is well known for the charms of its rolling landscape and exceptional Loyalist architecture, but its vibrant art community is perhaps less visible, revealing itself at local gallery shows and in the annual Festiv’Art event. Some of the region's most creative and renowned art studios are tucked away in Atelier Muir the hills that surround Frelighsburg, or nestled in the woods overlooking a local waterfall, or housed within a modest clapboard church.

The Frelighsburg Art School offers a unique educational and art-vacation experience that allows you to study with the artists in their own ateliers, learning under their direct supervision and enjoying the authentic Frelighsburg environment and special ambiance that inspires them to create.

Jacques Lajeunesse The Frelighsburg Art School is being launched this year by the Tourism, Art, Commerce (TAC) group which functions as the village's chamber of commerce and organizes the popular Festiv’Art on Labour Day weekend.

Lightroom Jean-François Renaud, Ph. D. : Atelier Adobe Lightroom (logiciel spécialisé dans le flux de production d’images photographiques)

Ce logiciel est particulièrement adapté pour la photographie. Contrairement à Photoshop, qui propose des fonctions avancées de photomontage et de retouche, Lightroom se concentre sur les besoins essentielles du photographe. Particulièrement les tâches traditionnellement associées à la gestion des images, au développement des prises de vue et au «tirage en laboratoire». Il n’en offre pas moins une grande précision dans ses outils de correction (ajustements localisés, notamment par l’utilisation de masques).

Jean-François Renaud Clientèle visée : Des citadins souhaitant combiner plaisir d’une sortie en campagne et activité d’apprentissage à la fine pointe des technologies numériques en photographie; Amateurs de photographie habitant la région et désireux de suivre une formation poussée dans un domaine qui les passionne.

Jean-François Renaud, Ph. D., Professeur en médias à l’Université du Québec à Montréal, a plus de 20 ans d’expérience dans l’enseignement de diverses disciplines en conception visuelle (design graphique et photographie, image numérique vectorielle et matricielle, nouveaux médias et médias interactifs, vidéographie, modélisation et animation 3D). Depuis quatre ans, il donne des cours de photographie (captation et traitement numérique) à l’École d’été de Molyvos, en Grèce.
