We are SHIFTING OUR AUCTION in 2020 to November 15-30 

Your continuing support is needed and appreciated.

The Meaford Culture Foundation is grateful for the continuing support of generous local residents and business owners who support the endeavours of the Foundation by donating prize items to fundraising events.  In return, the Foundation is able to promote these businesses to the hundreds of visitors who attend MCF events each year.  The MCF mission is to raise funds for Arts and Culture initiatives in the community.  Included in these initiatives are monies raised for our Community Outreach program that funds bursaries, GBCS music and drama programs; amateur theatre; free admission for school children to theatre experiences and theatre and art camps.

Thanks to you our auction was a success!

“I was so impressed with Dean and how he keeps the students interested and engaged” “Best summer ever” and “I just love singing and acting”

This year MCF provided 5 Bursaries for students to attend Dean Hollin’s Musical Theatre Camp, this is his 9th summer teaching at Meaford Hall. After 2 weeks of learning all aspects of theatre the children showcase their skills on stage for everyone to see. These students learn to work together and take direction. Learning how to express yourself is an important life lesson, and having the support of your peers gives the encouragement needed.
