Your portal to creativity
Music, art and dance lessons are your portal to creative outputs for the world (but mostly you) to enjoy. Arts & Culture programs at Dovercourt are available for children, adults and families.
Every one of us has the ability to contribute to the arts and culture that surround us. We all have the ability to create works of art that will inspire others, make them smile, tap their toe, make them go “hmmm”. Sometimes we need encouragement, sometimes we need to be taught a new skill to convey our emotions that just can’t be explained. Sometimes we just need a hand with the technical aspects of our craft.
“Our instructor was phenomenal. He made the class fun and really motivated them to do their best. He challenged them so that they could meet their potential. A great experience!”

Fall Art Classes
This fall we’re offering online and in-person art classes. Online classes have been very popular since they began in our first summer sessions of online classes. Follow along on Zoom to learn techniques and create sketches, guided by Beverley or Maya. Recordings are sent out after each class in case you missed it or want to repeat the lesson.
