ArtHeart

ArtHeart Volunteers welcome! ArtHeart uses art as a vehicle to address child poverty, homelessness, lack of employment and mental health issues. ft.

ArtHeart Community Art Centre (ArtHeart) provides Regent Park children, youth and adults w/ visual arts programs, art instruction and materials, year-round; with healthy snacks and a hot meal. Our philosophy is that by offering creative materials, art education, innovative projects and marketing opportunities in a supportive and creative environment, participants can express their own creativity,

develop skills, find mental stimulation, and put their hands and imaginations to work. ArtHeart fosters the arts in a community that simply can’t afford access to making art and being creative. By working with the personal assets and resources that our participants bring to ArtHeart, we have created an integrated, diverse and dynamic forum for community development and growth. Participants are empowered to make some improvements to their quality of life and engage more in the community. ArtHeart was founded in 1991, under its former name: A Home for Creative Opportunity. In 2003, after operating officially as a project of the Toronto Christian Resource Centre, ArtHeart became incorporated as a new, not-for-profit, registered charity. ArtHeart operates in a 2,800 sq. art studio within Canada’s oldest and largest Government Housing Project, Regent Park.
