Our Program
ART SMART is a unique enriched arts program that offers every student at Clinton Junior Public School meaningful, community-powered arts experiences that spark fun, growth, and connection.
Established in 1989 through a generous gift from the late Beatrice Minden, the program was created to ensure all students have access to enriched arts opportunities. ART SMART is powered by the registered charity Friends of Clinton (#139821805RR0001).
Creative sessions, artist honorariums, and materials are funded and supported by volunteer parents, teachers, and the broader school community. ART SMART is not part of the TDSB and is not offered at other schools.
What’s Going On
Programming 2026
We’re excited to share that ART SMART programming will resume in 2026 after our 2024–2025 hiatus. Our community-powered arts experiences will once again bring creativity, connection, and hands-on exploration to every student at Clinton Junior Public School. Stay tuned—more details coming soon!

Mark your calendars because Art Night returns this May. Clinton’s annual celebration of student creativity is one of our community’s favourite events, and we are excited to bring it back in 2026.
