Over 100 people attended artists’ reception for ‘Soar’ at Elora Centre for the Arts

ELORA – Artists and instructors gathered on March 25 during the artists’ reception for the Soar: Celebrating our Ability to Fly, Sing and Soar exhibit at the Elora Centre for the Arts (ECFTA).

Over 100 people filled the exhibit in the main gallery.

Simon Greaves was one of the artists to address the crowd, taking time to thank many individuals who helped make the exhibit possible.

Organizers also recognized the support of an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant.

Over 34 months funding totalled $374,300 and enabled ECFTA to expand its Supportive Arts program for artists with disabilities and to increase the physical accessibility of the ECFTA space.
