Our Programs
Through community projects, in-school programs, and professional development opportunities, CAHEP brings people together to explore the transformative power of the arts in everyday life.
Bringing art to where people live, learn, and play
CAHEP’s Community Projects invite people of all ages to create, connect, and celebrate through shared artistic experiences. From the Teddy Bear Picnic to Culture Days and the Art of the Mushroom, these projects have been transforming public spaces into vibrant hubs of creativity and belonging for 25 years. Every event is an opportunity to strengthen community ties through the joy of making art together. Attend one of our events or get involved.
Arts in Education: Inspiring Creativity in Classrooms
CAHEP partners with schools to deliver engaging, curriculum-connected arts experiences. Through programs like Art Club and Days of Art, professional artists collaborate with educators to spark creativity, build confidence, and enrich classroom learning. Designed with accessibility in mind, these programs ensure that all students, especially in underfunded schools, have meaningful opportunities to explore the arts.
Creative Growth for Artists, Educators, and Professionals
CAHEP’s Professional Development programs provide artists, educators, and community partners with practical tools, mentorship, and inspiration. Workshops and training sessions explore everything from grant writing and project design to community engagement practices. By investing in professional learning, CAHEP helps build a thriving network of creative leaders dedicated to enriching the cultural life of Northwestern Ontario.
