The Fine Arts Department at FLESS is comprised of Visual Arts, Multimedia technology, Acting and Drama, and the Music Program.

Visual Arts courses and Multimedia Technology courses are taught by Ron Chmelyk. FLESS offers Visual Arts 8-12. Students learn the fundamentals of drawing and design and have opportunities to study acrylic painting, sculpture, intaglio printmaking, silkscreen and water colour. Students often display their work in the school and public libraries and submit their pieces for competitions such as the Lakes District Alternative Arts Festival.

Multimedia Technology courses are taught in a state-of-the-art computer lab. Students learn 3D computer animation, digital photography, and digital video-making. Students have also had the opportunity to complete the school Annual and study black and white photography in the multimedia courses.

Acting and Drama courses are taught by Mrs. Erin Baker. Students can study acting from grade 9 through grade 12. Each semester the students perform productions for both the school and community. Students have also competed with great success in venues such as the Lakes District Speech Arts Competition

The Music Program courses are taught by Mrs. Jody Mowat. Students can take band running from grade 4 through 12. Students have many opportunities to perform for the FLESS Student Body (Christmas Concerts, Spring Concerts, etc.) as well as performance venues including Pacific Northwest Music Festival held in Terrace BC. There is a push each year for a "band road trip", giving students opportunities to combine traveling, fun, music, and meeting other students with like interests. In May 2000, the FLESS Band traveled to Edmonton.
