Special Projects

Special Projects happen all year round and occur in partnership with local agencies and social justice groups. These partnerships are vital because it allows Willow Arts to expand our reach beyond our studio to work with agencies that align with our values. We reach thousands of people each year across the Niagara region. These projects provide paid opportunities for Willow Arts members to design and lead projects in the community; fostering leadership and artistic growth.
