Emergency – an emerging artists show and mentoring programme
January 8 – Feb 8, 2006 Opening reception Thursday January 8, 7:30 pm
Emergency is an extraordinary program, unique to the Elora Centre for the Arts. Promising students in their senior years of high school are paired with professional artists in our region. The young artists are selected for their vision and creative work. The professional artists offer guidance and technical know-how, giving the teens opportunity to take their creativity to a whole new level.
Announcing this year’s roster: Hali Morgan is mentored by Sophie Hogan, Suzi Florence is mentored by Tony Deluca, and Leanne Kochut and Sarah Pride are mentored by Marilyn Koop.

The Art Centre is at the threshold of an exciting new chapter, and we invite you to take the next step with us! As both our organization and the communities we serve grow, we need to address some of the physical constraints of our two galleries and classroom, to help break down barriers to participation in the arts.
