Art City is a not-for-profit community art studio dedicated to providing people of all ages with innovative and professional art programming, free of charge. Art City’s primary goal is to provide space and tools for anyone who wishes to express themselves creatively.
Art City is located on Treaty 1 territory and the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.
In accordance with Public Health Guidelines, we are not offering in-person programming until further notice.
However, we have reinvented our offerings into these three formats:
-
Art City Curbside
-
Art City Virtual
- Art City Outreach
Open Monday to Friday between 1-5pm
267 Sherbrook Street (Sherbrook Flats building)
