Outreach

This program provides arts programming to youth with intellectual and/or developmental delays in elementary and secondary school in the Life Skills and LRC classes.  We meet students once a month throughout the school year at Centre Wellington District Secondary School, Elora Public School, John Black Public School in Fergus, Arthur Public School and Victoria Cross Public School in Mount Forest. These sessions offer guided art instruction and contemporary art ideas led by an ECFTA Arts Educator.

The program is free to students.  Project themes are centered around community building and emphasize collaboration and success through personal artistic expression. The goal is connecting students to the community in meaningful and creative ways.

WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY classes for adults with varying abilities. September through June.

Please visit our PROGRAMS-ADULT WORKSHOPS page for more information or to register for FALL, WINTER, or SPRING session blocks.

SUPPORTIVE ARTS is a unique and inclusive program offering arts-based learning opportunities and compelling artistic experiences to individuals with varying abilities.

DISCOVERING CREATIVITY AND CONNECTING WITH OTHERS!

ARTFUL AGEING is a pilot project for seniors offered through the Elora Centre for the Arts as part of our growing Outreach program.

Monthly guided art sessions are designed especially for long-term care and retirement living residents and are offered on-site at Heritage River and Wellington Terrace in Elora and at Caressant Care, Fergus.

Whether residents are new to art making, bring some artistic experience, or just love expressing themselves, we are here to serve our older adult community through the exploration of materials, artists, and ideas in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Led by ECFTA Art Educators, each month offers a new and exciting program that’s playful, engaging, and full of learning!
