Students in the MADE Urban Arts program learning

The Upper Grand District School Board’s MADE Urban Arts program is currently accepting applications for the 2026/2027 school year.

MADE Urban Arts is an offsite interdisciplinary arts program offered by the UGDSB every second semester of each academic year. As a dynamic leader in arts education for Guelph and Wellington County for over 10 years, MADE students are offered the opportunity to flex their creative muscles each day under the guidance of experienced teachers and clinicians across all arts disciplines. Students in the MADE program earn four credits including music, art, drama and English.

The application deadline for the program is February 28, 2026. The MADE program is offering an early bird deadline of February 9, 2026. If you apply before the February 9th early bird deadline, you will be entered into a draw for MADE merch.

For anyone interested in the program, they will be hosting a virtual drop-in session on Wednesday, February 11 from 7:30-8:30 p.m. The link to this virtual session will be posted to the main page of the MADE website on February 11th.
