MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning

We're committed to building a world where every young person can rise to their full potential and achieve greatness.

We are dedicated to fostering a vibrant community through world-class art programming, creating a safe and nurturing environment where every youth can explore and grow creatively.

Free Art Programs for Youth

We offer a variety of art programs all year round-painting, beat-making, jewelry design, clay & ceramics, to name a few! Our programs are open to youth from 12+ years old and always free. 

Diverse youth gather around a couch to learn how to crochet. Maryam smiles directly into the camera while crocheting with yellow yarn.

Get Involved with Us!

Are you interested in working or volunteering with us? Each term we look for new facilitators and programs to teach at the centre.
