DescriptionA registered, non-profit, charitable organization that is run by volunteers and a Board of Directors. 
Mission Statement:  
to provide a place for people of all ages and skill levels to express, teach or develop their creativity through arts and crafts. Believe that art is an international language and has no regard for prejudice and that physical and mental ability has no bearing on one's ability to create. Through initiatives, the organization supports and encourages exhibitions and sales of arts and crafts, as well as supports ventures initiated by others in the community. 
Mandate: 
~ to provide a place for people of all ages and skill levels to express, teach or develop their creativity through arts and crafts, regardless of physical or mental ability 
~ to provide artists and crafts people a Gallery and Gift Shop for the exhibition and sale of their work 
~ to advocate for and promote a more powerful presence of art in the community 
~ to provide programming and services that meet the needs of the community and to offer alternatives to those not directly sourced through the resource centre 
~ to link the organization to other individuals, businesses and organizations in the community that are not traditionally associated with the arts to demonstrate how creative expression can enhance and improve personal and social development and that these skills are vital to the success of any initiative or organization.
Supplementary DescriptionOffer a casual, friendly and supportive environment for artists, crafters, and art lovers of all ages, promoting the enhancement and enjoyment of life through recreational artistic creativity. 
Provide arts and crafts programming and workshops for children, teens and adults on-site as well as through outreach programs. Will be offering Drama classes.
HoursPlease check the website for current store hours. Monday, Wednesday and Saturday 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm are always regular times for all seasons. We operate on volunteers, if a volunteer is not available or weather conditions are poor, you may find that we are closed.
