In School Programs

Welcome to a new adventure in the arts. We offer exciting opportunities for mulitple classes at your school to develop a project with Ross Creek artists in residence. With this program, we bring a multi-day or week class of contemporary art, drama, writing, music or dance into your schools. This program culminates in a showing of your students' work at Ross Creek, with a field trip for the classes and opportunity to see the teaching artists at work in their Ross Creek Studios (depending on availabilty and specific program).

The Ross Creek Centre for the Arts is proud to be host to programs that promote and explore Aboriginal art and culture. We know how important it is to give young Aboriginal students access to positive role models from their own culture and that these teachers and elders have a great deal to offer all students.
