City Art Centre

Drop-in Studio & Gallery

For adults who face mental health challenges

Background

Thirty-two years ago, in February 1992, a small group of people with experience in Mental Health Services shared the need for a safe place to express themselves through art media. They created City Art Centre to provide a safe place, free art supplies, peer support, and encouragement for those 18 years and older who self-identify as living with mental illness. Over the years members have developed a wide range of styles, forms, and techniques to support individual creative processes. Quality of life is greatly enhanced as feelings are expressed through art and healing is facilitated.

Mission Statement

City Art Centre is a safe, respectable place for expression through various forms of art, where peer support, self-direction and encouragement elevate the creative spirit.
