The mission of our School is to make instruction in the arts available to the public. We do want to finances to obstruct that access, and if students are in need they can seek assistance in confidence by contacting our Operations Coordinator by email at learn@lunenburgarts.org or by phone at (902) 640-2013. Our School has access to a bursary fund for youth of 15 years of age and younger.
