LIVING THROUGH THE ARTS

Developing human potential by empowering individuals and communities through artistic self-expression and creativity.

Living Through the Arts is an inspirational program that helps spark the creative imagination in adults, youth and children, helping to ignite unique creative expression.

An innovation of the Learning Through the Arts program at The Royal Conservatory of Music, Living Through the Arts nurtures creativity, builds self-knowledge and self-esteem, fosters mutual respect, and encourages the expression and celebration of creativity and identity – individually and socially.

Living Through the Arts offers three separate programs for various communities:

1. Creativity Workshops

• public arts courses for adults and families

2. Outreach Program

• facilitated workshops for high needs participants and staff of social service organizations

3. Active Ecology

• community arts projects based around environmental issues

 

To inspire creativity in all of us…

What some of our past participants have said:

 "I felt such euphoria after the first class! Jennifer is such a nurturing facilitator. She gave to me what I hope I have given to my kids for the past 18 years. Now it’s time for me."

"It’s so fantastic to express and create in a really safe and fun environment."

 

"I feel like a little girl again and there is a real freedom in that – a nice feeling of letting go."

"I wanted to try something totally new. I didn’t really know what I was doing and there’s something terrifying in that – but now I feel relaxed and I feel I’ve overcome that. It’s a great feeling."
