Artbarn at Luminato!
We would like to thank Vichy Laboratories for sponsoring our EcoArt workshop on June 14th at Harbourfront. Many children enjoyed making musical instruments from recycled materials that they played during the Dan Zanes concert. The organizers of Luminato did a great job bringing it all together for this magical afternoon.

We’re going Green this year!
Green is now our colour of choice and our theme is EcoArt for our upcoming Summer Artbreak programmes. At EcoArt children will learn environmental concepts while having fun with art. Our projects are designed to encourage creative problem-solving, increase awareness of nature and promote healthy living and recycling. Activities will include funky bird houses, stone paintings, bottle instruments, dream catchers and zen gardens. Register your child today - some spots still available for July 28 - Aug. 5!!
