H’art Studio’s Fall 2020 Programming

Today, we are pleased to announce the details of our Fall 2020 H’art Studio programming. The Fall session, which we are calling Season of Solos, will include visual arts, music, and dance workshops on the theme of “inspiration”. The new session begins on September 8th and will run until mid-December 2020.

H’art Studio artists will explore the concept of inspiration, look at what inspires local artists, dig into their own personal interests, and create compelling solo works. As a feature, local artists, dancers, and musicians will be invited to visit with us online to share their sources of inspiration.

Since 1998, our H’art Studio program (formerly H’art School) has been offering adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to reach their highest potential through the arts. The H’art Studio program offers artists a chance to build important skills while engaged in the practice and enjoyment of visual arts, music, theatre, dance, media arts, and literary arts.

About Registration
As we phase-in our return to on-site programming based on public health best practices and government guidance, we will slowly increase the number of H’art Studio artists who can attend at the Centre.  We plan to eventually accommodate most currently registered H’art Studio artists as restrictions ease in the Fall.  Learn more about H’art Studio program hours, fees, and more by clicking here
