About Us


What is WCAC?

WCAC (Winters Community Art Club) is a student-run organization providing art and drama programs for youth within the York and Jane/Finch community. We are supported financially through fundraisers and grants offered by various organizations within the university. Our club's affiliation with York University and Winters College allows us to provide these programs free of charge. We have worked with over 100 children, many of whom have become returning participants.

Our programs allow participants to explore various areas of the fine arts while having fun! Our instructors are university students and sometimes local high school students who are trained and informed about our services to help us lead the programs. We are continuously developing new directions to inspire our participants.
