Arts Umbrella INSPIRING KIDS FOR LIFE THROUGH THE ARTS At Arts Umbrella, children and youth learn to reflect on their world and themselves, to venture into self-inquiry, and to use their own voice to describe, articulate and develop ideas. Since 1979, Arts Umbrella has been fulfilling its mission to inspire kids for life through the arts. In the past year alone, inspirational learning opportunities in visual, media and performing arts were delivered to 24,000 children and youth through tuition-based programs and free-of-charge Outreach programs. Arts Umbrella is founded on the idea that arts education plays a critical role in healthy childhood development, and that all children should be granted the same opportunity for growth. With more and more Arts Umbrella programs happening throughout Metro Vancouver, more children are benefitting from access to high quality arts education. A not-for-profit organization, Arts Umbrella relies on the generosity of the community to deliver inspiring arts programs year after year, to as many children as possible.

message from CEO & board chair INSPIRATION IS AT THE CORE OF OUR BUSINESS Arts Umbrella has come a long way in its 33 years of operation. From a small start with 45 students in 1979 to the bustling collection of programs that happen on Granville Island, in Surrey, and at community locations around Metro Vancouver, Arts Umbrella continues to grow. The organization’s mission has remained strong over the course of time, and we continue to seek inspirational ways to positively impact young people through arts education. Accessibility is a key component of what we do. We believe that all children deserve the chance to experience the benefits arts education can have on their lives. We measure our success by the positive impact we have on the community. Children can experience all kinds of barriers in their lives: it is our mission to help them overcome challenges, and be inspired by arts learning. This past year, we reached more than 24,000 students; more than 12,000 of these children and youth participated free-ofcharge or at a reduced rate. It takes a monumental effort to ensure that programs such as ours remain accessible every year, now and into the future. Thank you to all our supporters for their generous and ongoing support with funds, time, and expertise. It is gratifying to know that so many others believe – as we do – that arts education is not a ‘nice-to-have’ component of a child’s successful development, but a ‘need-to-have’. Thank you to our students, parents, volunteers, sponsors and donors for furthering our mission to inspire kids for life through the arts!

how arts umbrella works ABOUT ARTS UMBRELLA Self-confidence, independence, teamwork, patience, and giving and receiving feedback are all part of what is learned in an Arts Umbrella class.

The classes inspire students to explore and appreciate the arts not only as creators and performers but also as members of an audience.

Most importantly, Arts Umbrella is about creating a difference: the type of difference that can result when encouragement, support, creativity and fun come together to change a child’s life.

of the imagination and their unique view of the world.

constantly be improved. At Arts Umbrella students are asked to push boundaries in their thinking, to be creative, critical thinkers, and become an active member in the communities they live in.

INSIDE ARTS UMBRELLA STUDIOS All Arts Umbrella studios are places of magic, inspiration and learning. With classes available for young artists of all skill levels, children and youth can develop new skills and hone interests while discovering more about the power

Students are taught that art making is a process, one that can be undertaken at any point in their lives, and that skills can

TEACHING THE PRACTICE OF ART – ARTS UMBRELLA INSTRUCTORS Inspirational instructional staff is the cornerstone of the Arts Umbrella experience. Caring, artistic individuals provide the technique and inspiration to empower students to be artists, make their own decisions, and develop their own vision.

All Arts Umbrella classes are led by practicing artists who are invested in teaching young minds and creating a vibrant community. By relating the student’s work to their own personal investigation of the artistic process, instructors in all disciplines bring a richness and depth to the studio experience.

For fee and schedule information, see P34–41 or visit www.artsumbrella.com Vancouver: 604.681.5268 | Surrey: 604.535.1127

This type of guided inquiry and learning creates an environment of positive interaction and development for all students, regardless of skill level. There is a magic that happens when young learners can see that their instructors care deeply not only about the subject that is being taught, but also about the learning process of each student.

support arts education at Arts Umbrella INSPIRING KIDS FOR LIFE LEADS TO STRONG COMMUNITIES IN THE FUTURE Of the more than 24,000 children who access Arts Umbrella programs annually, more than 12,000 kids who may face geographical, cultural or financial barriers, participate free-of-charge or at a reduced rate through bursaries, scholarships and Outreach programs.

Arts Umbrella is able to provide accessible programs because of highly committed and supportive donors and supporters. Tuition fees cover only 45% of the annual operating budget, with 4% coming from government. The remaining 51% comes from individual, corporate, and foundation donations and fundraising events.

Ensuring programs are sustainable is a key organizational mandate. Only those programs with adequate funding are scheduled, to avoid the cancellation of programs during the year. The negative impact the loss of a program can have on a child is huge, especially when their life may already be filled with uncertainties and instability.
