Heck Yeah Art Party
Make art. Make friends. Make a mess. Offering artist demos, guest talks, friendships, and hands-on art biz support to help artists level up at every stage.
Monthly Creative Kick Start Meet-up
We kick things off with a different creativity warm-up, and each meet-up will feature either a guest speaker, an artist demo, or a rapid-fire show-and-tell. There will be fresh ideas, helpful insights, and that general creative kick-in-the-pants to spark new inspiration and help you regain momentum in your creative practice.
Community through Art
Heck Yeah Art Party is a creative community built on curiosity, exploration and inspiration. Offering artist demos, guest talks, workshops, friendships, and hands-on art biz support to help artists level up at every stage. Explore your creativity, grow your skills, share ideas, and celebrate the joy, self-expression, and mental well-being that come from living life creatively.
Goals, Plans, Challenges, and Support
Being an artist can feel a little lonely sometimes. Heck Yeah is here to help you map things out, move forward, and keep creating. Bring your big ideas, half-finished projects, and creative roadblocks. Together, we’ll work through challenges, celebrate wins, and share tools and resources along the way.
What’s Included
Your Heck Yeah Art Party membership includes a monthly creative kickstart meet-up, artist demos, guest speakers, and time to connect with other art-loving humans. Expect a relaxed, supportive atmosphere where we will explore together, make a mess, share ideas, and leave feeling inspired. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just looking for a creative time out, you're welcome here.

Who We Are
Rose Currie
Rose Currie is an award-winning, multidisciplinary artist from Vancouver Island whose creative journey has been shaped by resilience, passion, and a deep connection to art.
She has built a rich and diverse career as an artist, working as a scenic painter for theatre, designing prints for fabric and has a lengthy exhibition record. Her photography has been published, has won awards, and has been exhibited across Canada.
Currently, she focuses on painting iconic landscapes around Victoria. In the beginning, her paintings were a celebration of the city she lives in, but as Victoria changes, is deconstructed and rebuilt, her paintings have gained a sense of timeless nostalgia. Her scenes evoke a sense of calm serenity that we have on the West Coast. They have been noted as vibrant, cinematic and iconic. She welcomes you to experience Victoria through her eyes.
Jessa Dupuis
Jessa Dupuis is a collage and mixed media artist based in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. Her practice is informed by over 20 years as a graphic designer, which shapes how she perceives, layers, and composes visual stories.
