The creative arts studio is an integral part of the centre for the arts at Holland Bloorview. The center for the arts offers a wide range of year-round creative arts programs, workshops and special events for children and youth of all abilities. The programs bring together visual and performance artists, facilitators and volunteers and offer children the opportunity to express themselves creatively – at the bedside, in the studio and outside in the Spiral Garden.
