The Calgary Arts Summer School Association (CASSA) started twenty years ago with the brilliant idea of providing a summer workshop for piano students. We now offer seven fine arts courses and workshops and an annual recital. Our courses are designed for fun and education for a wide range of interests and ages.

Under the direction of President and Artistic Director Linda Kundert-Stoll, CASSA has provided quality arts education with a high level of professional instruction within a completely unique, inter-disciplinary summer arts school. Whether students are only beginning their artistic education or are advanced in their studies, CASSA has something for everyone! CASSA is the summer school for the arts!
