History

New Image College of Fine Arts was founded by Bill and Charlotte Dyck in 1980. The mantle later passed to their daughter, actress and model Charie Van Dyke, and her partner John Craig. The school moved locations around Vancouver several times before its establishment in the downtown core, bouncing back after a fire destroyed one location in 1988.[2]

Currently

The New Image College campus occupies a 9,000-square-foot (840 m2) penthouse in a heritage building in downtown Vancouver. The school focuses on three distinct fields of study, training actors for theatre, film and television, beauty and special effects make-up artists, and professional aestheticians.[2]

Faculty

New Image faculty members include Gemini Award-winning special effects master and film director Ryan Nicholson, who schools his students both in class and on full-length independent features in a unique work experience program.[4][5] New Image acting instructors include Gemini Award-winning film actor Philip Granger, "one of Canada's premier actors."[6] Other faculty (as of 2011) include Vancouver-based actors Raugi Yu and Sarah-Jane Redmond.

Community

New Image has been profiled in the media for its adult education programs.[7] The academy has also been noted for its community contributions to Vancouver. The school frequently offers up its time to community events such as fashion and talent shows,[8] musical productions,[9] and seasonal events with "pro- quality makeup jobs".[10] New Image has also been known to stage its own highly public demonstrations in Vancouver and other locales,[11] as well as make appearances at media conventions in Vancouver and elsewhere.[12]

New Image Entertainment

New Image College of Fine Arts has recently taken to producing feature-length independent films utilizing the talents of their students, staff and faculty under the banner of New Image Entertainment.[3] One of these features, Bleading Lady, has been released internationally on DVD, and several more films, primarily comedies and effects-driven horror films such as the upcoming Famine,[13] are on the way.
