Program

Since 2017, we have welcomed seasonal Artists-in-Residence--local, emerging or professional artists and artisans--to create and share work inspired by Brubacher House and its history. The program also provides opportunities for artists to engage with the community through participatory arts workshops. We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Mennonite Historical Society of Ontario which makes this program possible.
