After Hours Arts Cyber Open House & Workshop, Part 2

For those who could not attend our first After Hours Arts workshop on May 30,2018, we have started a Cyber Open House with videos and links to more information online as we feature each of our three artists/facilitators. This page is an introduction to Stories in the Air with Anne Glover and features Creative Community Music Ensemble with Stephanie Khoury. Make a note that the start time for the conversation and soup supper is now beginning at 5:30pm.

What inspired After Hours Arts at the Centre for Community and our Goal

St. Mary’s Centre for Community (C4C) is a new initiative seeking to strengthen community within our immediate neighbourhood, our municipality, Oak Bay, and the wider community. It is our vision that The Centre will offer a safe, inclusive space to share life together, and experiences that will develop personal skills within a community context.

C4C’s inaugural programme, After Hours Arts, offers participants an opportunity to learn, heighten and hone artistic skills, and to participate within a community of shared interest in the arts. Find out more!
