BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 Acceptance Letter is arriving!
Let’s celebrate this inspiring moment with all the students and parents!
For many art or fashion-loving high school students, New York Fashion Week (NYFW) feels like a dream that’s far out of reach — a world-class stage meant only for professionals. But at GAAC – Green Apple Art Centre, that door truly opens. Our students don’t just observe from afar; they step inside the backstage, work alongside industry talents, and experience the real heartbeat of fashion.
The new college application season has quietly kicked off — are you ready? This time, GAAC has prepared a super practical guide for all future applicants: a full list of virtual information sessions hosted by top universities worldwide and details about Vancouver’s annual Portfolio Day. These resources will help students better understand their dream schools, strengthen their application strategies, and get a head start on the road to admission.
This summer, students from the Green Apple Art Centre (GAAC) brought creativity, warmth, and community spirit to Vancouver by hosting a charity art sale titled “Florescence” at the vibrant Art Downtown Summer Festival. Their goal was simple yet meaningful — to let art bloom in the heart of the city and make a positive impact.
Recently, many students and parents have been asking us: “With everything going on right now, should we still consider applying to universities in the United States?”
It’s a practical and important question. And our answer remains the same: There is no single “correct” choice — the key is finding the path that fits YOU best.
Many universities you may assume are “for STEM or liberal arts students only” are, in fact, actively seeking creative minds with strong ideas and expressive power. At Green Apple Art Centre (GAAC), we’ve seen countless students open the doors to top-tier universities through a combination of artistry, academics, and communication skills.
As AI evolves at lightning speed — “seven updates a day,” as some say — one thing is becoming increasingly clear: The future belongs to those who can combine art, business, and digital storytelling. In today’s fast-changing, algorithm-driven world, 🎨 Art + 💼 Business + 📱 New Media = The Power to Shape the Future.
Every July, AP scores are released. For students preparing their college applications, these scores are not just numbers on a report card — they’re the midpoint signal in a long strategic game of academic and creative preparation. They reflect more than grades; they reveal your mindset, study habits, and potential — all of which admissions officers at top universities care deeply about.
This summer, Green Apple Art Centre (GAAC) once again joined Vancouver’s lively Khats Street Party! From setting up in the morning to the bustling afternoon crowd, creativity filled every corner of the street. We brought art out of the classroom and onto the street — blending creativity with sunshine, laughter, and music.
