Only 4 days left to register for the last few spots in our academies!

Our teen programs which close out our summer are almost here - Is your teen a creative type who sometimes feels alone at school? Are they passionate about singing and song-writing, playing an instrument or making dance? Do they love being in the school musical or going to Drama Fest? Do they paint or sketch up a storm or write in a journal? The academies are for them, and for this week only, to fill the last few spots, we are giving 50% off so we can close out our registration!

Our Visual Arts mentor, NSCAD's Sara Hartland-Rowe, is a finalist for the NS Lieutenant Governor's Masterworks Award for her work on the Dartmouth Bus Shelter!

Energize their creative energy in this two week fun intensive program that brings teen artists to master classes in theatre, music, visual arts, film, writing, and choreography. They spend two weeks immersed in creative work in their chosen classes, as well as collaborating with their peers in structured challenges, all on the incredible landscape of the Ross Creek Centre.
â€œThe training I got here was incredible. I discovered new ways to think about what I want to do and new ways to work. Plus I loved it at Ross Creek!

Our Box Office is done!

We are so thrilled to thank the many hands who made this happen, after last year's tussle with Hurricane Arthur: the women and men of CFB Greenwood and Camp Aldershot, Ian McKay, Eamonn and Macky Schwartz, Lindsay Jacquard, Steven Brooker, Roxy Peterson, Shane Delorey, YaÃ«l Even-Fournet, Stephen Cruikshank, Vanessa Reynoldson, Kim Taggart, Shane from NKEC and those who donated to our Arthur Fund to help us rebuild, with a special shout out to Jason Roth and Cheryl Steadman-Roth who have been guiding us and started off our matching funds campaign, encouraging others to donate! The counter is made of two planks of elm taken from a tree in Canning, and hosts the delicious treats we provide for the shows, including Tangled Garden jellies and vinaigrettes, Fox Hill Cheese, Gaspereau Wines and more!
