Aside from being a very picturesque town with the beautiful gorge and quarry there is also a small art community found here that many people might not known about. To be honest I didn't know about it until I visited the Elora Centre of the Arts a few years ago during a class trip. The centre is located in a transformed school house a short walk away from the Elora gorge and offers classes for children and adults.

 I'm not much of a dramatic person, I don't act or perform in things and I'm not particularly the biggest fan of participating in the dramatic arts but I had so much fun when I partook in the acting class. The centre is built around giving kids and adults opportunities to explore all different mediums of art from arts and crafts to performance plays and teaching them techniques that they can utilize in the future. This isn't exactly an attraction that visitors from outside Ontario can visit per say but if you live in the area I would highly recommend taking a class here, not only are the teachers here very interactive and enthusiastic but it's a great way to get kids thinking creatively and allowing them to explore their talents. You can register online for the classes here. If you did just want to visit though the building also has art exhibits and galleries located throughout.
