Art plays a part in health and wellbeing—and research supports it.

A 2019 World Health Organization review drew on more than 3,000 studies and found evidence that the arts can support health and wellbeing throughout our lives.

At the St. Thomas–Elgin Public Art Centre, exhibitions, classes and community programs offer opportunities to experience art, express yourself and connect with others.

Access to art matters. When we support the arts, we help create opportunities for a healthier, more connected community.

Visit an exhibition, join a class or bring a friend. Make art part of your life.

Art lives beyond the gallery walls.

Rebecca Sisler’s The Minstrels has been part of Hepburn Park since 1967. Although the sculpture now on the site is a replica, it remains a familiar local landmark and a source of inspiration for artists who visit the park to sketch it.

The story continues within the St. Thomas–Elgin Public Art Centre, where a work by Sisler is preserved in our Permanent Collection—connecting public art, local creativity and our community’s cultural history.
