Learning of all types takes place in ArtHouse continued from p.7 "Suddenly, we are adding issues around mental health to the work with our youths, hearing about their anxieties, the scary world of cyber communication and bullying, and how often these teens can feel abandoned," she said. "They are so open and honest with us, they see ArtHouse as a trusting environment, and our goal is to help them succeed in life." Many ArtHouse alumnae have also become volunteers, particularly at Camp ArtHouse, where two, two-week summer Theatre Performance Programs are held at Sheridan College. This year, the organization celebrates its seventh season with 100 young campers performing in Disney's Annie for Kids, supported by volunteers, led by two of the GTA's top directors and choreographers and with a huge finale performance on the Theatre Sheridan stage. 19 | Friday, August 5, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com We believe we are living our vision statement.... Building Better Communities Through the Arts, and we now have thousands of community stakeholders to thank for allowig us the opportunity to achieve it. ArtHouse founder Don Pangman, Among 12 summer programs planned, ArtHouse has another first -- an unprecedented and exciting new adventure awaits 25 young people as the organization initiates ArtHouse Shakes the Bard, in partnership with the Oakville Public Library; a contemporary kid-friendly introduction to Shakespeare, with a little rap, a little hip-hop, pillow fights instead of sword fights and a whole lot of educational fun. As ArtHouse looks forward with its recently endorsed Vision 2019, it will stay committed to Halton communities. "Our major funders are keen to see us grow here and continue to deepen our reach into each of our community's most vulnerable neighbourhoods," said Pangman. "We are honoured to boast more than 40 collaborative partners who believe in ArtHouse -- we are working with more than 30 venue providers, 10 social service agencies, including ROCK, Community Development Halton (CDH) and Kerr Street Mission (KSM), seven public schools, the Region of Halton's Community Housing Corporation, arts organizations, our libraries and our Ys. The support has been overwhelming, and we cherish every one of these important partnerships." Financially, ArtHouse is anticipating its most successful year of fundraising in 2016, but without hesitation, Pangman admits growth in funding is necessary to help it achieve its Vision 2019 Goals. The organization is also on the "edge of its seat," waiting to hear in the early fall whether it will be awarded with an Imagine Canada Accreditation. "We believe we are living our vision statement," said Pangman. "Building Better Communities Through the Arts, and we now have thousands of community stakeholders to thank for allowing us the opportunity to achieve it." -- submitted by ArtHouse We fill more than your prescriptions.
