School Engagement Activities

Nia Centre brings Black arts & culture into schools across the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), Peel Region District School Board, York Region School Board & Dufferin Peel Catholic School Board.

We are proud to be an approved vendor with TDSB.

We create space and opportunities for intermediate – senior level (grades 8- 12) and post-secondary students to expand their artistic interests, identities and skills both inside and outside of the classrooms.

Through our school activities students are able to:

Develop and learn new art skills, artistic mediums and tools
Engage in the artistic experiences and learn from educators in the arts
Connect and receive career advice from Career Professionals and Artists working within the Creative Sectors.

What we offer

We offer high quality, engaging and culturally relevant artistic workshops and experiences across art disciplines and themes!
