Cedar Ridge Creative Centre is a vibrant arts and cultural hub housed in a historic mansion. Built as a family home in 1912, Cedar Ridge is surrounded by lush gardens and scenic woods with a variety of walking trails.

The centre is home to the Cedar Ridge Gallery, which is programmed with a diverse roster of exhibitions from September to June. Cedar Ridge offers a variety of ten-week art programs for adults, including:

Watercolours, Portrait Painting, Drawing & Painting, Drawing Fundamentals, Wildlife Art, Pottery, Sculpture, Weaving, Knitting, Botanical Art and Stained Glass.

More experienced artists are invited to enjoy Cedar Ridge's studio space, and to work in the company of other artists in an open studio format. This non-instructional time offers an opportunity to sculpt, spin, weave, and paint in a studio with other artists.

To compliment our course offerings, Cedar Ridge programs a variety of special interest workshops each session. These include:

Japanese woodblock printmaking, felting and dying, cookie and
cupcake decorating, holiday cards and more.
