The Lawrence House Centre for the Arts wishes to extend an extra special Thank You to Costume Designer and Lead Seamstress Alice Norton for her hard work and dedication during the recent production of “Crude mentary Tales from Black Creek to Blue Water”.  In particular we want to thank her for her patience, understanding and huge contribution towards the project.

with crowds this week averaging 100 a night we are very happy to say that Mother Nature Is smiling on us this evening and we will have our performance of this tour de force spectacle at 8:00pm tonight and closing night is Sunday the 30th at 8:00pm. ( see map below for directions in Canatara Park)

The Lawrence House Centre for the Arts is proud to be able to bring this extraordinary celebration of our rich history of Sarnia Lambton to our community. The journey has been an experience unlike any other for all of us that have been involved in this project; the staff, volunteers and community participants have all expressed how much this has enriched and touched their lives The “Crude mentary Tales” has been three years in the planning, writing, community outreach and production. Along the way, through the community involvement, collecting local stories and creating new partnerships, the Lawrence House has won many accolades for its involvement with Artwalk, Canada Day and Santa Claus Parades (winning 1^st prize in both the Santa Claus and Canada Day parades!). All of these activities have resulted in facilitating the education of new skills to our community that fulfills our mandate of    providing venues for exhibition, creation, performance and the development of art and artists.

 The LHCA continues to apply the artistic vision of engaging the public, artists and partners in a ways that inspire new avenues of creation, both in our programming and our community outreach. The Centre demonstrates a capacity to bring varied groups together and provides diversity in arts programming for all ages.  In addition to our children & youth programming we offer workshops in drawing, painting, new media MAC programming, printmaking, digital photography & music classes for adults.

Thank you for your continued support through your membership and participation with all that the LHCA has to offer our region
