SUMMARY:Youth Outreach: Connecting to Community Through Art - for elementary and high school students with (dis)abilities
DESCRIPTION:This program provides  visual arts programming to youth with intellectual and/or developmental (dis)abilities in elementary and secondary school.  Students meet twice a month (once a month at Centre Wellington District High School and once a month at Elora Public School.  The sessions offer art instruction\, provided by an ECFTA Arts Educator\, assisted by classroom teachers. The program\, including instruction and art supplies are free to students.  Project themes are centred around community building\, emphasizing collaboration and success through personal artistic expression. The goal is connecting students to the community in meaningful and creative ways. \n \nWhy is this program important? \nStudents with (dis)abilities (termed “M.I.D” by the school board) experience intellectual and/or developmental delays and face added challenges to feeling supported within the school system and the broader community\, further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. They also have limited access to arts-based resources within the school due to the continued erosion of arts funding. This program strives to engage them in focusing on emotional and social well-being through art projects that connect them with community initiatives\, helping them experience community life beyond school. Our goal is that they feel more connected and included in the community. \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\nThis project arose as a direct request from teachers of M.I.D (mild intellectual disability) and Life Skills students and aligns with our goal of supporting community needs through the arts. \nAs additional funding and donations are secured for our Youth Outreach programs\, additional sessions will be added.  In the meantime\, we are grateful for the support from The Harry Foster Foundation who have enabled this program to run for the Fall/Winter 2022!  We couldn’t run this program without their support! \n  \n\nIn January 2021\,  we had to run this program virtually\, and we were able to offer this online instruction thanks in part to the support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation Community Building Fund.  This funding has been instrumental in supporting the Art Centre’s emergence from the pandemic\, deepen the curation of exhibitions\, and supporting virtual outreach programs for students with (dis)Abilities. \n  \n\n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \nFor more information about this program please contact us at:  programming@ecfta.ca \n  \nTo help support this program by donating today please click here.

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

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. 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! \n  \nInstagram: @inthelineoffibre Facebook: @inthelineoffibre \n  \n\n \n  \nIF YOU CANCEL \nCancellations up to 7 days prior to start date will receive a full refund less a $25 administrative fee.
