Our Arts Engagment Programs

We provide artists with resources and spaces to create, offer hands-on arts experiences for young people through workshops and school programs, and collaborate with local organizations to ensure the arts are accessible to all. Our mission is to inspire creativity, foster inclusion, and enrich the cultural fabric of Orillia.
