The Artists at the Centre Project celebrated 10 years on Sunday May 15.
Artists at the Centre is a project that brings artists into child care centres and family resource centres in Hamilton Ontario Canada, where the early childhood educators are exploring the Reggio Emilia approach. It is funded by the City of Hamilton and Ontario Early Years, with significant support from the Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts. It has also received funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Hamilton Community Foundation, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.
Today’s Family has participated in the project for more than 8 years. Artists from the project are engaged at the Ryerson Ontario Early Years Centre, the Waterdown Ontario Early Years Centre, Hill Park Ontario Early Years Centre, Lime Ridge Mall Ontario Early Years Centre, R.A. Riddell Early Learning and Child Care Centre, Hamilton Mountain Early Learning and Child Care Centre and the Dundas Early Learning and Child Care Centre. The approach of all programs offered by Today’s Family supports the Reggio Emilia approach.
The exhibit runs until May 28, 2011 at the Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts . There is no charge to view the exhibit.
