Art-a-Thon: Creating Community is a Fundraising campaign featuring a series of paid, hands-on creative workshops for Adults.
Inspired by the same youth-centred, arts-driven, and community-powered programming we deliver year-round, adults can experience the vibrant spirit of our centre at the same time as supporting the youth of our community.
All proceeds from ticket sales directly fund our free and accessible art programs for youth, and ensure we can continue offering a safe space for youth to access the creative arts and support their mental health and well-being.
Together, we're shaping a future where kindness and cooperation reign, every dream is supported, and every young person can realize their full potential through the transformative power of art.

Beaded Necklace Making
Thursday, June 25: 6:30 – 8:30pm
$50
Let’s get the beads rolling!! Come make a unique beaded necklace with artist and maker Sophia Lawrence.
Work with thrifted and repurposed beads to make your dream summer necklace.
Got some unused beads at home? Maybe an old necklace you no longer wear? Bring it on, deconstruct it, upcycle it, use what you want, trade the rest!
All supplies will be provided, but if you would like to bring any materials or old jewelry to work with, you are more than welcome to do so!
Somatic Art & EFT Tapping
Sunday June 28: 1 - 3pm
$40
In this workshop, you’ll be guided through a gentle blend of somatic art practices and EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to help you reconnect with your body, release built-up tension, and express what’s been held beneath the surface.
Through intuitive, no-pressure creative exercises and guided tapping, we’ll explore how to safely move emotions, regulate the nervous system, and access a deeper sense of calm and clarity. No artistic experience is needed – this space is about expression, not perfection.
Together, we’ll create a supportive environment where you can soften, explore, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe and empowering.
