At Arts Umbrella, Canada’s largest multi-disciplinary arts education centre, we believe that an arts education changes young lives, and young people change the world. This past year we worked with 104 community partners to provide high-quality accessible arts education to children at underserved schools, community centres, neighbourhood houses, and healthcare facilities across Metro Vancouver, as well as some of Northern Canada’s most remote communities.

Since 2021, Arts Umbrella has seen a 29% increase in the number of students served through no-cost arts programs, as well as an increased demand from public schools for no-cost arts experiences. As 2024 comes to a close, we have set an ambitious year-end fundraising goal of $15,000. With your help, we have the opportunity to provide more scholarships, bursaries, and no-cost programs to the families who need it most.

Let’s make a difference this year-end, and give the gift of creativity, self-confidence, and self-expression to young people who are shaping their future, and our world.
