Arts Education Mission!

Centre[3] partners with Hamilton organizations to bring arts education into the community.

One collaboration is called the NuSteel alternative arts education program. Centre[3] and Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board offer this program to interested students. It’s project-based arts at Centre[3] coordinated with school academic subjects.

Another Centre[3] collaboration with Hamilton schools, grades 3-12, is called SSAS (Schools in the Studio, Artists in the Schools). Centre[3] takes printmaking to the students’ schoolroom. Other times, the students come to Centre[3] to experience 2 hours in the studio! Centre[3] coordinates with educators to craft a curriculum based art program.

Project ZE is a recent school/arts collaboration to promote safer schools for LGBTQ students, open communication platforms and alliances among all students through the arts.

Sitelines is a three year Centre[3] project providing free art-based workshops and classes to people who have experienced addiction and/or mental health issues. Sitelines is funded by Ontario Trillium Foundation.
