In association with Eden Community Homes, the VanDuzer Art Studio offers classes, workshops and rental space to artists, both professional and amateur. The VanDuzer Art Studio was made possible through the special support of our patron Mrs. Joan VanDuzer and the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Self-expression through art can play an important role in life and contribute significantly to the process of recovery from mental illness. The VanDuzer Art Studio is a newly renovated historical building located behind Eden Community Homes at 196 Beverley St. (built circa 1886).
