about Arts UmbrellaArts Umbrella programs allow children and youth access to the tangible benefits of arts education through the joys of creating and learning.

Children and youth that participate in the arts can:

• Gain a wider view of themselves and their opportunities in the world.• Develop self-confidence and self-worth.• Explore and develop creativity and innovation.• Develop an ability to make decisions independently.• Learn to set and achieve goals.• Improve their odds of success in all areas of their lives.

Through activities that are challenging, meaningful, and based on strong arts education principles, exposure to the arts can benefit our youngest citizens throughout their lives.

Since 1979, Arts Umbrella has been committed to delivering the highest quality visual and performing arts education to young people. A not-for-profit organization, Arts Umbrella relies on the support of the community to deliver high-quality arts education experiences through tuition-based programs, and free-of-charge outreach programs delivered throughout Metro Vancouver.

• For Summer Programs: Children aged 3–4 years must have experience being in a classroom setting without a parent/guardian present.

• Full day participants are responsible for their own, peanut-free lunches and snacks.

• For safety reasons, participants require a basic understanding of the English language.
