2023 - A YEAR TO PAUSE
A message from the Executive Director,
Elora Centre for the Arts
Elora Centre for the Arts presents Creative Spark in the Yard – an update on the 2023 season
We have made the difficult decision to put our annual art event in the yard on hold for the 2023 season. As you’ll recall, we were back in action last summer for a wonderful weekend event, post pandemic and it was fantastic! To feel the creative energy of our 50+ artisans and artists, listen to some live music again, and just BE TOGETHER and support our creative community, it was magic. And although our heart and intention is to continue to support artists and makers, we need to pause the annual event that typically takes place every July in the yard at the Elora Centre for the Arts. We have some construction scheduled for the yard, including drainage and a new parking lot. The work begins in the Spring, but it’s unclear if the site will be ready for use by the time our event arrives, and as you know we start planning an event like this 6 months ahead.
Please keep in touch, or check our website for updates about the 2024 season!

A message from Carolyn McLeod-McCarthy of Creative Spark Workshops, show organizer in partnership with the Elora Centre for the Arts
Although we were so happy to have been able to gather once again for the 2022 season, without Covid restrictions, we were set once again to present a great show for the 2023 season. As the director clearly stated above, the uncertainty of construction as they upgrade their space - and they have a lot of great things happening! - will only help to enhance the experience for both artisans/makers and patrons that can be offered for the 2024 season.
We wish you all a safe and wonderful 2023 and hope to see you all in 2024 when we can support each other in the arts community.
