Artasia brings children together, community- wide, to discover the transformative power of the arts. The pillars of the Artasia program are art education, civic engagement, environmentalism, innovation, and storytelling.

Working with our partners, we bring Artasia to over 500 young people each summer. Their work is shared in many ways, including a large-scale, collaborative art exhibition debuting in September and touring throughout the region.

Artasia is designed with an understanding of the importance of creativity to development, and the ideas of young people, both of which are vital to shaping strong healthy communities.

This innovative program encourages collaboration, mutual learning and the multi-generational sharing of knowledge with children, secondary school students, new generation emerging artists and practicing artists working together to uncover the potential in our community.
When we work together to address the challenges facing our community, we are reminded that we have the power to transform our neighbourhoods with innovative solutions.
