Today, Artscape is pleased to announce UrbanArts and Shakespeare in Action as our program partners for our community cultural hub in development, Artscape Weston Common.

UrbanArts offers programs and services that develop the artistic and creative assets of artists and residents, fostering community-building. The organization is a longtime fixture in the Weston community with two locations in the area, just steps from the future hub.
Shakespeare in Action is a theatre company that fosters literacy, enhances creativity and promotes speech arts by making the language and stories of Shakespeare accessible and relevant to young audiences, their families, and the community. They’re making a move from their offices in downtown Toronto to Artscape Weston Common.
