About
Established in 2018, Sugarwoods is an ongoing community art project that celebrates creativity at any stage in Artists of every age.
The name Sugarwoods comes from the maple forests of eastern Canada where the sweetest creations are found in nature. Like the many trees of the Sugarwoods, we believe that individual creativity flourishes when shared in the collaborative process. Find a new skill, a new way to express yourself, and even a new friend through our Lessons, Camps, and Workshops. Connect with creatives in your community through our Markets & Musical Events. However you found your way to Sugarwoods, we’re glad you’re here!
Mission
Sugarwoods is an inclusive community welcoming humans of every kind! While we expect our community to be the right kinda wild, we also expect that everyone at Sugarwoods be treated with compassion & respect. Sugarwoods is an inclusive environment where everybody can shine!
