community affiliates

The Community Affiliates program was established over eight years ago to ensure that our diverse community members are represented and involved in the arts. EAS partners with local organizations—including Alternatives Gallery & Studio, EWMA, and The Kettle Friendship Society—who provide healing-through-art programs. These organizations engage individuals with the creative arts to build bridges, develop physical and emotional health, explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behaviour and addictions, develop social skills, and increase self-esteem.
