You’ve
probably seen the Nina Haggerty Centre - but do
you know who we are and what we do?
We are an arts centre
for adults with developmental disabilities, supporting over 130
different artists. By providing people with an
opportunity to change their personal narratives from stories
about disability into a story about individual creativity and
expression,
the centre changes lives everyday.
We give a person who often
spends most of their life being told what to do and how to do
it the opportunity to become a part
of a collective
of artists like them and use a studio where they become the authority
on what to make and how to make it. The
Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts is an essential component providing
real quality of life and helping these artists develop their
voices, giving their communities and families a new opportunity
to appreciate
who they are.
Our collective
members are supported by seven practicing professional artists
and over 10 volunteers. With the support
of the Nina
Haggerty Centre of the Arts (NHCA) our artists have travelled
and exhibited
their work in Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Brazil, the
Art Gallery of Alberta, local festivals & libraries.
How can you support these local emerging artists?
