School Programs at the Cambridge Centre for the Arts

In 2026, Cambridge Centre for the Arts and the Waterloo Catholic District School Board began their partnership to deliver contemporary art lessons and gallery tours to local school groups visiting the Art Centre.

With art activities led by CCA instructor Alyssa Haynes, over 100 young artists in Grade 6, 7, and 8 created abstract watercolour paintings inspired by their tour of the Cambridge Centre for the Arts Gallery.
