ArtCave and East End Arts are excited to join forces again for the 2025 summer season! Kids and youth are invited to join us this summer for two exciting summer camps (one for kids, and one for teens). All programs take place at our home, 450 Broadview Ave, St. Matthew’s Clubhouse (with the exception of day fieldtrips that will involve public transportation to various art spaces across the city, like museums, galleries, etc. These locations will be communicated to participants in advance).
As part of this partnership, each summer camp will offer three fully subsidized bursary spots for three separate participants from the east end of Toronto who face financial barriers. Please scroll down to learn about the two summer camps ArtCave is presenting at the Clubhouse, and fill out our ArtCave/EEA Bursary Form (found below) if you would like to be considered for these 100% subsidized spots!
*Please note that this Bursary partnership with ArtCave will operate lottery-style (meaning three random names will be drawn for each camp from those who put their name forward).
