MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning

Where creativity sparks potential, and every young person can explore, grow, and make their mark.

From painting and pottery to fashion, music, boat building, we offer creative art programs all year round!

Our programs happen in Dartmouth and various locations in HRM. They are open to youth from 12 to 19 years old, include materials (and snacks!) and are always free.

Are you interested in teaching or volunteering with us?

We hire artists to facilitate our programs and rely on the generosity of our volunteers for kitchen help to ensure our youth have delicious and nutritious snacks. We'd love to learn about how your skillsets help grow youth potential!
