ABOUT ARTHOUSE
WHERE IN THE WORLD WOULD WE BE WITHOUT THE ARTS
ArtHouse is like a Village – and it’s not a small village. We know that thousands of children, youth and seniors have little or no access to any creative arts programs throughout the Halton Region. And while we simply can’t accommodate everyone, we are grateful to our Community Partners, our Instructors, Volunteers and our Donors who are working with us to ensure that we can reach as many of our most vulnerable participants as possible. Our goal is to enhance their confidence, curiosity, imagination, resilience and respect for one another. We are using our arts-based programming to show our young people that there are Pathways to Possibility and that beyond graduation there is a world of opportunity in our fast-changing 21st century. For our seniors we can help restore social connection, support brain health and bring joy into their day.
We believe the case for the arts is the strongest we’ve seen in decades. We are committed to helping our participants grow creatively, socially, emotionally, intellectually and unconditionally in an atmosphere that is supportive and safe. We will stay connected Every Step of the Way.
OUR HISTORY:
Since 2009 ArtHouse has engaged over 13,000 vulnerable young kids by providing 997 Neighbourhood and Community Programs, delivered at 90 Subsidized Housing locations, Cooperatives, Community Hubs and in collaborative partnerships with front-line Agencies throughout Halton. In the Fall we look forward to inviting seniors to join us in our programming.
OUR MISSION:
ArtHouse Halton is a charitable organization providing free Creative Arts programs that engage and enrich the lives of children, youth and seniors who have limited access to fee-based activities. We go beyond the arts, nurturing young people’s well-being, building life skills that shape their futures, and creating opportunities that forge connection, enhance quality of life, and spark joy for seniors.
OUR FRONT OF THE LINE POLICY:
Over the last 17 years, ArtHouse has worked with and continues to support a strong network of families throughout Halton. As a charitable organization that is grateful for its generous financial supporters, we remain fully committed to directing their donations to programs that support our participants residing within the Region of Halton and where cost may be a barrier. While we do not want to discourage anyone from registering, we know there may be disappointments and thank you for your understanding.
ARTHOUSE – CONNECTED EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
