SUMMARY:Pavilion Summer Concert Series at the Elora Centre for the Arts: featuring Harry Lee Follon
DESCRIPTION:Our final concert in the pavilion as part of our Summer Concert Series!  You won’t want to miss the classic sound and memorable melodies of Harry Lee Follon on the stage!  And who doesn’t love a fiddle and pedal steel!? \nWith his thick grey beard and ubiquitous wide-brimmed hat\, Harry Lee Follon looks like a man transplanted from a previous century. But that timeless image is the ideal reflection of his music—pure\, honest songs that are as emotionally resonant in 2024 as they would have been in 1924.  His new album ‘Uncle’s Lament’ was just released in June!  “The overall feeling while listening to Uncle’s Lament is something close to sitting in a front parlour enjoying good friends playing music together” – Canadian Beats \nFollon’s music is inspired by the likes of John Prine and Townes Van Zandt\, although he says that he’s also inspired by younger artists working in that tradition such as Jeffery Martin and Joe Pug\, as well as fellow Canadians Spencer Burton and Zachary Lucky. \nAnd lucky you\, this concert is also part of a BBQ Picnic at the Arts Centre – but you have to order meals ahead here.  Otherwise\, just come and enjoy this free concert featuring the amazing Harry Lee Follon! \n \n \n  \nPresented by our amazing community partners at Sorbara Group of Companies\, Tribute Homes\, and The County of Wellington\, The Centre Wellington Community Foundation\, and the Township of Centre Wellington‘s Tourism Marketing Fund. \nScroll down for details! \nEvent Details: \n\nBring a blanket or chair\, come a bit early to get a good spot!\nNo reservation needed – just come as you are!  This is a free event (with the opportunity to pay-what-you-can\, with proceeds going to support local arts)\nThere will be a snack bar with refreshments and snacks (cash only!)\nRain or shine (unless lightning and pouring rain)\nThe pavilion stage in the yard at the Elora Centre for the Arts is located at 75 Melville Street\, Elora Ontario\n\n  \nFor information about the full line up of concerts\, please click here.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS - Youth Outreach. Connecting to Schools Through Art for elementary & high school students
DESCRIPTION:COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS provides free arts programming to youth with intellectual and/or developmental delays in elementary and secondary school in the Life Skills and LRC classrooms.  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\, Victoria Cross Public School in Mount Forest\, and June Ave Public School in Guelph. \nLed by an ECFTA Arts Educator\, these sessions offer guided art instruction and contemporary art ideas to students in Centre and North Wellington. \n \nThe 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! \nWhy is this program important? \nStudents with developmental delays experience added challenges in feeling supported within the school system and the broader community. These children and youth also have limited access to arts-based resources within schools due to the continued erosion of arts funding. \nThis program strives to engage the emotional and social well-being of students through art making that connects them with community initiatives\, helping them experience community life beyond school. \nThis project arose in response to teachers of LRC and Life Skills students in our area and aligns with our goal of supporting community needs through the arts. Our goal is that students feel more connected and included in their community through the art-making process! \n\n  \nThe 2019 Vital Signs Report demonstrates the need for this program as follows: \n\nOnly 41% of students feel a sense of belonging to their community through school;\nAccessibility to the arts continues to be a barrier for many;\nYouth mental health is a particular vulnerability; and\nConnection to the community is listed as a preventative factor against suicide.\n\nFunding for this program is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Harry E. Foster Charitable Foundation the Johansen-Larsen Foundation and the Centre Wellington Community Foundation. Thank you! \n  \n\nProgram Insights \nEach year\, we discover that as the year progressed\, students gained an appreciation for each other’s work. The collective art making environment allows the students to locate their individuality within a larger group context in a very direct way by comparing how they resolved their works\, and how their classmates may have made different choices. \nThis form of communication and introspection is unique to collective art-making\, that allows for participants to see themselves in the context of others. It is a wonderful opportunity for those who often find it difficult to connect with groups\, to find a common language when looking at and discussing each other’s work. \nStudents with limited verbal communication are able to be a part of a visual conversation that values the uniqueness of perspective and diverse ways of making. \n  \n  \n\nFor more information about this program please contact us at:  programming@ecfta.ca \nTo help support this program by donating today\, please click here.
