Our Youth Outreach programs are designed to harness the power of community\, creativity and art to teach valuable life skills. Your generosity could sponsor 1 kid\, 2 kids or a kid for an entire session! \n \nOUR GOAL: We can’t run these youth programs without your help! Our goal is to raise $8\,000 for these outreach programs\, helping them all run in Winter/Spring 2023. \n \n\nEven before the pandemic\, less than half of students in Centre Wellington reported feeling a sense of belonging to their community\, and this gap is growing. The creative process allows us to meet youth where they’re at and give them a safe space to express themselves. In art\, there is no wrong answer. \nFor Giving Tuesday\, we are raising awareness and money for our Youth Outreach programs that serve kids with added obstacles: elementary and high school students with (dis)Abilities\, teens recovering from addiction\, and tweens looking to find their place in the world. Our goal is to address their severed connection with community\, utilizing the creative process to talk about feelings management\, teamwork\, resilience\, emotional expression and human connection. \n \nYOU CAN BRING ART AND HEALING INTO THE LIVES OF KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY!\nSupport 1 kid for 1 class\, 2 kids for 1 class or a kid for an entire session! \n1. High School & Elementary Students with (dis)Abilibities: Community Connections Through Art \nThis program connects Centre Wellington students with (dis)abiities to important community conversations\, using art projects as the conduit for connection\, personal well-being\, belonging and mental health support. Projects emphasize collaboration and success through personal artistic expression. This is a bi-weekly program within the schools. \n1 kid\, 1 class = $20 | 2 kids\, 1 class = $50 | 1 kid\, full session = $550 \n2. The Nest! After School Program for Tweens \nThis program supports tweens age 10+ seeking to re-engage and re-connect with their peers in a safe\, creative and nurturing space. This social “maker space” encourages community building\, collaboration and creativity. Sessions are gently guided\, allowing for free flow of thoughts and ideas. Arts Centre facilitators provide supervision\, gently guided creative projects and support in this open flow\, gender diverse program. This is a weekly program. \n1 kid\, 1 class = $30 | 2 kids\, 1 class = $60 | 1 kid\, full session = $550 \n3. Youth Addiction & Recovery Program: The Healing Power of Art and Creative Expression \nIn partnership with Portage Ontario\, this program incorporates art and creative expression as the conduit for acceptance\, sharing and healing. It allows for emotional exploration\, coping strategies and discussions about the challenges of recovery. Run by Arts Centre educators\, engagement facilitators and a social worker.

SUMMARY:Holiday Cardinal! Needle Felting & Mixed Media Workshop with Megan Cleland
DESCRIPTION:AGES 16+ | MAX. 10 participants \n$95 + HST | $15 KIT FEE \nSpend the day with artist Megan Cleland of @inthelineoffibre to learn the basics of needle felting and create your own 8×10 canvas\, featuring a cheery needle felted and mixed-media\, acrylic Holiday Cardinal! \n2 spots left!\n\nPlease note: A $15 material kit fee is payable in cash to the instructor in cash at the start of the workshop. \nSupplied in Kit: \n\nFoam board\n12”x12” canvas\nAcrylic paints\n2-36* needles\nWool\nInstruction sheet to take home\n\nFor more information about the workshop\, please message Megan at https://www.facebook.com/InTheLineofFibre/ \nFor information about our space or registration\, please contact us. \n\nInstructor Bio \nMegan Cleland is a self-taught artist with a passion for felting. In 2000 Megan and her husband purchased a farm in Australia that came with 400 fine wool merinos. She started explored felting\, spinning\, and weaving for the sheer enjoyment of being surrounded by incredible fibres. Megan returned to Canada in 2008 and began to combine her love of portraiture and needle felting. The switch from amateur to professional has been a recent decision. The response to Megan’s work has driven that path. Painting with wool to create realistic portraits and landscapes has been a natural progression from watercolour and pastel with exciting results. It is more organic and has a warmth and texture that makes the viewer want to reach out and touch it. \n@inthelineoffibre www.facebook.com/InTheLineofFibre \n   \nIF YOU CANCEL \nCancellations up to 7 days prior to start date will receive a full refund less a $25 administrative fee.

SUMMARY:Meet the Artist Reception: 'A Moment in Time' Maureen Ault
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us in the gallery to meet emerging artist Maureen Ault and celebrate her exhibition ‘A Moment in Time’.  Refreshments will be served. \nThis is a free event\, everyone is welcome! \n \nA bit about the Artist: \n“A Moment in Time” by emerging artist Maureen Ault captures the idea that all of us share similar experiences and moments in our lives that leave lasting impressions upon us.  The artist utilizes the smallest elements to create big impact – each piece consists of hundreds of tiny botanical materials like petals\, leaves\, grasses\, ferns\, and bark to recreate her memories of significant moments we share.  Maureen spends countless hours in florists\, greenhouses and gardens looking for the right material for each piece\, as well as working directly with pressed flower companies.  Particular attention is paid to the properties of the elements selected – such as veining and colour.  The landscape images she captures are literally made of the landscape itself\, and are a powerful reminder that “life can be found in the details”.  It is also a testament to the strength of human spirit\, and how life’s obstacles can be overcome to find the many tiny joys that are in front of us if we choose to see them. \nThe artist would like to thank the Ontario Arts Council: Deaf and Disability Arts Projects-Production for their support to help make this exhibition a reality. \nTo find out more about Maureen’s exhibition please click here. \n
