Elora Centre for the Arts

The Elora Centre for the Arts is located in a restored, three-story limestone school building in one of Ontario’s most picturesque villages. The Elora Centre for the Arts consists of 10 large classrooms converted to provide in total over 10,000 square feet of dedicated space plus additional service corridors and amenities. It is now considered a home where Art lives. The facility is envisioned as an enhancement to cultural life in the region through production and reception, and through the practice and presentations. Elora Centre for the Arts is grounded firmly in the belief that involvement with contemporary art, in all of its various forms, supports those living, working, and visiting here. We see the arts as a function of a health, and health is a function of participation, just as happiness is a function of communication. Hence, we provide educative opportunities, transformational opportunities and interpretive possibilities for all ages. We instill life-long learning through the arts. While enhancing education in the arts and raising public aesthetic taste is extended through studio and rehearsal space, service to art forms is also programmed as exhibits, performances, residencies, lectures, workshops, symposia and forums. Music, Dance, Theatre, Literary, Visual and Media art forms provide cultural equity for our audiences. Ultimately, we see the Centre evolving toward a teaching and mentoring institution of national significance. The Elora Centre for the Arts provides educative opportunities and transformational opportunities for all ages. Studio and rehearsal spaces are available, and programmes include exhibits, performances, residencies, lectures, classes and workshops. The Elora Centre for the Arts is a Charitable Organization - Charitable Registration Number: 86123 1314 RR0001
