Fredericton Girls+ Rock Camp is BACK!

Charlotte Street Arts Centre is pleased to announce the return of Girls+ Rock Camp! This six day camp is for girls, trans and gender creative youth from ages 11 to 18. This camp aims to give youth the opportunity to learn a new instrument (or new techniques on an old one) and express themselves in creative and artistic ways. AMAZING facilitators will guide and coach the campers through a week that is designed to build confidence, leadership and teamwork skills.

2021 Camp Dates are August 8th-12th (9am to 4pm) and the showcase will be during the evening of August 13th at 7pm at The Playhouse.

Faster Than Light

Charlotte Street Arts Centre in partnership with The Multi-Cultural Association of Fredericton, Isaac's Way and The City of Fredericton present Faster Than Light. Photography is an accessible art that allows youth to have a voice and to convey to others how they view the world around them. It is accessible because a picture can express the artists sentiment non-verbally and without language barriers. In a two week workshop series Kelly Baker, a storyteller and professional photographer with work with the youth as our lead facilitator. Kelly worked on the first iteration of this project back in 2016, you can see her stunning work here: www.kellybakerphoto.ca
