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.

Inclusive Arts: On the Same Page

The National Arts Centre, through its Music Alive program, invited us to contribute an on-demand video webinar. In this video, we include stories of local professional artists who share their experiences — from an ally perspective — working on art projects with D/deaf artists and artists with disabilities. This webinar introduces H’art’s award-winning MixAbilities Inclusive Arts Training Program. It became available on June 5th.
