The Upper Ottawa Valley Heritage Centre is launching a new weekly arts program aimed at bringing the community together through creativity.
Heritage Arts and Crafts Nights will run Mondays from April 27 to June 29, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., offering participants a relaxed setting to work on personal projects or join guided activities.
A $5 drop-in fee applies, with an additional cost for instructor-led sessions. Organizers say the initiative is designed to foster connection, skill-sharing and appreciation for traditional crafts.
The series begins with a crocheting workshop led by a local instructor.
