We work with community partners to deliver art programs that connect and engage our diverse community.
This includes -

Lakeridge Health Whitby Geriatric and Rehabilitation Patients
Creative Therapy with Geriatric Rehabilitation Patients at Lakeridge Health
Station Gallery leads weekly hands-on art activities for patients in the Geriatric Rehabilitation Program at Lakeridge Health. This is a recreational therapy program that gives patients the opportunity to be creative, learn new skills, socialize and assist with their recovery.

Benefits for Patients
• Improved cognitive function (i.e ability to follow directions, ability to recall)
• Improved fine motor skills (i.e holding a paint brush, painting, gluing etc)
• Opportunity to learn and develop a new skill

TREKS Camp
This summer Station Gallery welcomed the campers from the Abilities Centre for an interactive tour and an opportunity for hands art making. The exhibition was filled with whimsical and collaborative activities and allowed campers to leave their mark. Following the tour campers worked with one of our talented artist instructors and built 3D clay comic scenes, based on the artwork from the exhibition.

Adult Social Club
Since 2010 Station Gallery has been offering art based programming to the Adult Social Club. Station Gallery offers participants materials and support to create functional artworks that participants can keep and display or give away as a gift to a loved one. Projects have included vases, mugs and jewellery
