Our Programs

H’art Centre collaborates with qualified, trained community artists to offer programming that promotes the belief that there are no limits to a creative endeavour and that all people – regardless of ability – should be encouraged to participate in the arts. With this as a foundation, they are free to explore what they are capable of achieving individually, in a group, and within the community.

Making ripples so the arts can give back

We’re celebrating our 25th year of making ripples of inspiration! Picture how ripples continue to move forward with effortlessness. From a single source of inspiration, they go on to create a big impact. Finally, they influence the future in a gentle way. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary year, let’s make a few ripples together. Take part in programs, workshops, events and more!
