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