One themed week,
one performance,
an entire studio.

Our summer arts program delivers Music, Art & Drama at the Old Art School (Molson's Mill) in Port Hope. Kids write their own plays, design sets & costumes, compose music, and make visual art that goes home Friday. The week ends with an Open House showing the production.

Inside the log-cabin studio: the round stained-glass window above an easel, a long table set for a class, and children's artwork on the walls.
