Mission & Vision

The mission of the Artisans Centre Peterborough is to preserve heritage artisans’ skills and enhance the community of Peterborough and the Kawarthas by providing education and skills training to the public, children to seniors.  

The Artisans Centre Peterborough envisions an educational facility in which all handcraft-oriented interest groups in the region can meet to teach skills and exchange artisans' ideas. The facility would provide space, instructors and access to specialized artisan equipment for the community to share and a gallery to display artisan work. It could provide studio space. The public would have one central location for information, skills learning, membership, instructors, registration, participation, resources, ideas exchange, creativity, and the viewing and purchasing of artisan work.
