Help make the Arts Accessible to All
At the Elora Centre for the Arts, we know that arts participation is integral to the well-being of our communities.
Creative experiences build confidence, support mental health and foster a deep sense of connection.
That’s why — through our exhibitions, workshops, camps, community events and outreach programs — we’re committed to ensuring that everyone has access to meaningful arts opportunities — regardless of the barriers they face.
But none of this is possible without you.
As an independent charity, we rely on community support to fuel this work, and to continue to provide a space where people of all ages and abilities can create, connect and belong.

Double Your Impact until Dec. 31!
Give by Dec. 31, 2025 — and your gift will be matched by Skyline!
This holiday season, our friends at Skyline have pledged to match every donation to our Community Outreach Programs — dollar for dollar — up to $10,000!
That means your gift will go twice as far — a $50 donation becomes $100, a $100 donation becomes $200, and so on.
You can double your impact in two ways:
- Make a one-time donation by Dec. 31, 2025, and Skyline will match it!
OR - Become a monthly donor by Dec. 31, 2025, and Skyline will match your gift every month for an entire year!
How Your Gift Helps
When you donate, your gift makes a real and lasting impact in our community. Here’s how your gift helps:
- Removes barriers to arts participation — by providing free or highly subsidized spots in our art workshops, classes and camps for those in need of financial help.
- Keeps our vital Community Outreach Programs thriving — including Supportive Arts for adults with (dis)abilities, Community Connections for students with (dis)abilities, Artful Ageing for seniors in retirement living and long-term care, and more.
- Strengthens our local arts community — by supporting artists and arts organizations with exhibition opportunities, teaching roles, affordable studio and office space, and a vibrant artisan shop to showcase and sell their work.
- Sustains a thriving arts and culture hub for our region — ensuring the Arts Centre can continue to nurture creativity, bring people together and enrich the community for years to come.
You make all of this possible — and so much more.
Become a Monthly Donor
Becoming a monthly donor is one of the most impactful ways to support the Arts Centre.
Your monthly gift helps provide steady, reliable funding that allows us to plan ahead, sustain our programs and services, and ensure that creative opportunities remain accessible for everyone.
Even a small monthly contribution adds up to a big, lasting impact.
🌟 PLUS: When you sign up to become a monthly donor by Dec. 31, 2025, our friends at Skyline will match your gift every month for an entire year!
Leave a Legacy Gift
Your legacy gift can help shape the creative future of our community.
By including the Elora Centre for the Arts in your will, you’ll help ensure that the values you care about — creativity, connection and community — continue to flourish for generations to come.
