Welcome to the Arts Carleton Place website!
Arts Carleton Place is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to empowering artists and area residents through the arts. See the following information for what we are currently up to. Feel free to browse our website for more details about our group and to view our online database of area artists.
Please take a look around to familiarize yourself with us and what our organization is about (check out the about and history pages for detailed information). Our current activities page will outline our current activities while the artist activites page will outline upcoming events featuring members of our artist database. The most recent Arts Carleton Place and Artist activities will be listed on the bottom of this page. The artist database is an electronic directory of registered artisans from Carleton Place and the surrounding area.
We are always looking for new volunteers to help us promote arts in Carleton Place, so if you have any interest in volunteering, we would love to hear from you. Also, if you have any questions or suggestions, or are interested in registering in our artist's database, please contact us and someone will respond shortly.
In June 2009, Arts Carleton Place graciously accepted donated office and gallery space from the Chamber of Commerce at the Train Station Visitor Centre and Gift Shop (see address below). Drop in and check out the original art, jewellery, pottery, cards, photography, the written word and more.

Live Poets Society Finals
Posted July 6, 2010
LiPS Finals are happening in July. This is where the top poets (who have competed in the LiPS 2010 SLAM series) have an opportunity to share their best work, and perhaps win a spot on the National Team.
The National LiPS team will then get to compete with Spoken Word poets from across Canada - at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, being held in Ottawa this year (in October).
LiPS has been fortunate to be able to compete nationally for the past two years, thus far as the only rural team to compete on a national level.
Come out & show your support, and to hear the wonderful Spoken Word poetry of your local Lanark County poets.
