Anja Studer

Anja Studer was born and raised in Switzerland and became an environmental activist at a very young age, feeling a deep need to protect the world we live in. She studied fine arts at the École de design et haute école d’art du Valais and the University of Manitoba and graduated from Red River College with a diploma in photography. Anja continues to create, exhibit, and sell her art in Europe and North America.

Anja creates works in a variety of mediums, often with a focus on the impact of environmental challenges facing wildlife. Her mixed media paintings – featuring beautiful, abstract watercolour washes enriched with details in ink, acrylic, 18k gold and graphite – loosely evoke the landscape. Her papercuts are inspired by the traditional Swiss artform. This delicate medium utilizes the concept of patterns unravelling into lines to echo the message of wildlife extinction.

Birtle Centre for the Arts

Birtle Centre for the Arts, located at 671 Main St., Birtle, is a hub for local and regional creative communities. A non-profit organization, BCA is a team effort, managed by a volunteer board of directors with the help of many community volunteers, donors, and business sponsors.

BCA strives to provide a welcoming, inclusive environment where creative endeavours and learning about the visual arts and craft are encouraged and facilitated. People of all ages are welcome to use the bright clean workspaces to share, learn and practice skills or to work independently on their creative projects. A growing group of energetic artists and volunteers continue to attract and nurture creativity through a widening range of programming.

BCA offers ways to acquire new skills in the arts and other creative endeavours. We typically offer over 40 programs each year to children, youth, and adults from our community and the surrounding area. Our classes range from puppet-making to acrylic painting and everything in between.

BCA also provides studio time for community members who want to practice what they have learned in our classes or work independently. A drop-in fee is charged and equipment can be used when the appropriate pre-requisite classes have been taken to learn safe and proper use.
