Question 1

Where is your parking?

Accepted Answer

Baxter currently has three parallel parking spots in front of the building. 
Please do not park along Stanley Street or on the sidewalk. This is a safety and bylaw issue.

Question 2

Is there extra parking?

If there are no spots in front of Baxter, please park on Main Street Bloomfield and use our new walkway to our back entrance. You are welcome to park at Empire Inn & Suites or Hickory Homes at certain designated times which are communicated to program participants before each program.

Yes, Baxter has a beautiful new ramp available for anyone to use. Please do note that we do not have an electronic doorway just yet.

We want to hear from you! Email our Program Manager at programs@baxterartscentre.org with a request, a proposal, a question. 
Our community has identified many amazing programs that we have been able to bring to life, including children’s Hip Hop, toddler dance classes and drop-in programming.

We are looking for instructors who can teach dance, sculpture, photography, children’s programming and more!

Question 8

Do I have to have experience in creating art in order to participate?

Accepted Answer

Not all of our programs are art related. We are interested in creativity in all its forms: dance, storytelling, music, performance. Many of our programs are for beginners and are identified as an Introduction course.

We also offer Intermediate classes for artists who want to hone a specific skill and Open Studio programs for those currently working on projects.

Question 9

Do I need to bring my own art supplies?

Accepted Answer

You’ll likely be comfortable with your own supplies for certain programs, however Baxter strives to provide as much as we can.

We currently have drop clothes, easels, paper, and an assortment of brushes, paints and pastels available for communal use. We ask that you clean up after you’ve finished your program and put everything away.

Each program will list materials in the “Read More” section. Some programs will include all materials while others will require you to purchase some items to help offset costs. You will be given advance notice should you need to purchase anything for a program.
