Flight Studio brings extracurricular creative arts programming to young citizens of Stratford, Ontario and neighbouring communities. We offer a variety of classes and workshops throughout the school year in the areas of visual art, music, voice and drama.

This is Flight

The arts have intrinsic value and can be transformative. Through artistic expression kids can learn to share their ideas, think critically, innovate and build self-esteem.

Flight Studio has found its year round home in Room 1D at the Falstaff Family Centre.  We are honoured to share our space with Loreena McKennitt and all the amazing arts initiatives that have held tenancies at Falstaff. We feel inspired to build on those legacies through the sharing of ideas, collaborations and community partnerships with the hope of building a lasting arts space that is synonymous with youth and creativity.
