About EHAA
Our Vision
A group of residents have formed the English Harbour Arts Association with the goal to preserve the church and create an economically viable cultural centre for the eastern edge of Trinity Bight.
Once restored the church will be home to art workshops for local and traveling artists, cultural events, and a residency program. Partnerships with Newfoundland universities will allow students pursuing a Master of Fine Arts Degree to work on their portfolio and fullfill residency requirements. In the summer there will be creativity programs for local children.
The church has recently been designated as a Heritage Structure, and the English Harbour Arts Association is a registered not-for-profit organization with charitable status.
