Arts UmbrellImagea was founded on the principle that high-quality arts education can positively and profoundly impact a person’s life, especially when received early in childhood.

 Some of the organization's successes are outlined below:

• More than 35 years of operation • Over 785 art-based classes offered weekly across four locations • Nearly 22,000 children and youth served • Over 14,219 children reached through 100% donor-funded outreach programs delivered to inner city schools and disadvantaged communities • Bursary Fund of $148,757 • 122 qualified artist instructors  • Excellent board governance  • Clearly articulated strategic plan • Long-standing donor base (corporations, foundations and individuals) • Proven history of collaborating with like-minded community partners

Arts Umbrella has now moved to two locations in Surrey after many successful  years on Granville Island and is looking forward to developing local relationships in the Central and South Surrey areas.
