SATURDAY MORNING WORKSHOPS WILL CONTINUE TO THE END OF JUNE! Keep checking back for more workshop updates!
Saturday, April 22: EARTH DAY Recycled Metal Flowers- To celebrate Earth Day we are going to take recycling to a whole new (and beautiful!) level by transforming colourful metal cans, beads and wire into funky metal flowers- a cool way to reduce, reuse and up-cycle to make art!
Saturday, May 6: Dandelion Paintings- Who ever said that dandelions were weeds certainly didn’t know how to appreciate the cheery colours and whimsical flowers scattering their backyard. Whether they are little puffy flowers filling the sky with seeds or happy little yellow buds these dandelions will provide fun inspiration for spring landscapes on canvas.

Journey Through the Arts, run by artist Christine Benson, and musician Mike Woods is a multi-faceted arts organization in Port Hope, Ontario which is dedicated to bringing a variety of exciting programmes to adults and children. Founded as a way to ensure "the arts" (music, art and drama) are an integeral part of children's lives JTTA offers week long summer programmes throughout July and August at a restored mill along the Ganaraska River. The summer programme, which was founded in 2002, teaches children (between the ages of 6 and 13) about the value and importance of using their creativity and imagination while they produce visual art, perform original musical compositions and perform short plays. The results are both inspiring and humbling as the children gain confidence and learn various skills throughout the week.
From its roots as a children's arts organization Journey Through the Arts (JTTA) has blossomed and grown into a place where adults and children alike can experience the limitless possibilities of the arts. JTTA now offers after school, weekend and specialty art workshops for children, private guitar lessons, a group recording facility and adult visual art workshops which are dedicated to exposing adults (with various levels of experience) to the fine arts.
In the summer of 2005 JTTA opened the doors of the The Journey Through the Arts Gallery which focuses on giving exhibition opportunities to local and regional artists and artisans. The JTTA Gallery offers visitors a glimpse into the ideas, practises, techniques and work of 15 artists. The gallery features a variety of media including painting, printmaking, jewelry and pottery. Exhibitions and artists are ever-changing with work that is sure to inspire the artist within all of us.
