Art Across Ages is about people of all ages coming together to create, connect and share. These free, hands-on workshops are open to everyone including kids, teens, parents, grandparents and neighbours.

Each workshop focuses on a different kind of art and is led by local and visiting artists. You might learn a new skill, try something you have never done before, or simply enjoy making art with others in a friendly space.

All workshops are free, materials are provided, and no experience is needed – just bring yourself and a willingness to have a go.
