The Foundational sessions for Newcomer Artist Training in community arts facilitation are designed to be an introductory course to orient newcomer artists in the field of community arts and facilitation in Canada. Bringing your arts practice to a community is a great additional source of income and inspiration. The program is offered for free through the Mabelle Arts Welcome to the Neighbourhood program to those who qualify. We will have a guest speaker working in Toronto's community arts presenting and sharing about their practice.

This year, we have two training sessions: a November session on Saturdays in Etobicoke and a February session on Thursday evenings in the East Side.
