Steinbach Arts Council Offers Free Parents & Tots Workshop Series with Grant Funding
Steinbach, MB – The Steinbach Arts Council is thrilled to launch the Parents & Tots Art Workshop Series, a free 5-session program for families with children aged 1-4. Funded by the Healthy Child Coalition South East, this program brings arts and culture to the community at no cost. It addresses the growing demand for toddler programming and aligns with SAC’s mission to create community through arts and culture. The series focuses on arts-based learning and healthy lifestyles, making it an excellent opportunity for young families to engage in arts and culture.
“As we continue to evolve and grow, we’re always looking for more ways serve our community. Our tots programming is a great example of this. We took a chance two years ago with our Tots Summer Arts Day Camp, and the response was fantastic including recent participants from our Arts4tots Preschool Program attending. It was clear that there is a need for this type of programming, and we’re thrilled to be building on that success with our new Parents & Tots Art Workshop Series. This initiative not only reaches new audiences but also allows us to continue facilitating meaningful and inclusive programs to the community,” Manager of Community Programs, Cassandra Kornelsen says.
The Parents & Tots Art Workshop Series will introduce participants to various arts disciplines, including culinary and nutrition, visual arts, creative wellness and movement, theatre, and music and sensory exploration. Each workshop will be led by qualified instructors and will include a healthy snack, promoting healthy lifestyles and wellness. The following sessions are scheduled:
