J. Michael fay subsidy program
J. Michael Fay founded the Alexandra Writers Centre Society in 1981. What started as a small group of writers teaching and learning together has now grown into a powerful network of writers, instructors, storytellers and creatives.
We are a community that thrives on support and encouragement. Michael passed away in June 2020. Part of his legacy is this gift to anyone who needs it. Whether you are dealing with trauma, ready to explore a new avenue of creative expression, or delving into a long-loved passion for the literary arts we believe art should be accessible to everyone. Based on the philosophy of “no writer left behind”, the J. Michael Fay Subsidy Program is available to anyone who finds themselves in financial need but really wants or needs to participate in one of our programs or classes.
