Arts4All

Arts For All - Arte Per Tutti - Arte Para Todos

Arts4All, based at Davenport Perth Neighbourhood Centre and Pelham Park Gardens, was founded in 2001. Following Jumblies’ 2004 production of Once A Shoreline, Arts4All has become an independent organization, with leadership passing from Ruth Howard to Lisa Marie DiLiberto to the current Artistic Director, Elizabeth Rucker. In 2008, Arts4All produced We Live Here, a large-scale community play on the grounds of Pelham Park Gardens, and since then has moved on to other and ongoing ventures.

Arts4All’s 2012/13 season includes:

  • Regular Monday afternoon workshops – Everyone welcome!
  • Workshops for seniors & youth at Pelham Park (Toronto Community Housing)
  • Multi-arts workshops with other programs at the Davenport Perth Community Centre
  • Exploring the theme of fear and courage through writing, storytelling and performance
  • Culmination of a multi-year Radio Drama project, I Was a Brave Child with a multi-media production in February
  • Leadership and mentorship training for community members
  • Workshops with seniors on making art with children, leading to creation and performance of early years plays
  • Establishing a writer’s group
  • Hosting Jumblies Studio Workshops, Seminars & Internships
