Home Is Where the Art Is

Help Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation Find Its Next Home

After two decades of nurturing creativity at the historic Old Elliot School, Kaleidoscope’s lease at 27 Jubilee Road will end on June 30, 2026. This space has been the heart of our work — a place where children’s imaginations flourished, where community came together, and where the power of the arts changed lives.

But now, with our time in this beloved space coming to a close, we need your support to write Kaleidoscope’s next chapter.

To continue fulfilling our mission and serving Bermuda’s children with the same passion and care, we are seeking:

A centrally located property
With a welcoming garden
And a minimum of 2,500 square feet of indoor space

We are launching our “Art Is Where the Home Is” campaign to raise the funds necessary to secure a new home — one that will allow us to continue providing high-quality arts education, community programs, and a safe, creative space for generations to come.

Our Story

Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation (Kaleidoscope) is a non-profit, #765, dedicated to nurturing creativity and resilience in Bermuda’s children through the arts and connection with nature. For nearly twenty years, Kaleidoscope has been a trusted partner to families and schools, enriching over 10,000 young lives through hands-on programming at the historic Old Elliot School in Devonshire.

With our lease at 27 Jubilee Road ending in March 2026, Kaleidoscope is seeking a new home that will allow us to continue and expand our educational mission. We are searching for a property that welcomes children and families and provides the space and environment for a vibrant centre devoted to creative learning, youth development, and community engagement.

KAF brings a proven track record of responsible stewardship, property revitalization, and lasting community enrichment. We believe our presence can add both practical value and renewed life to a property, whether through straightforward tenancy or collaboration with its owners.

A Vision for Our New Home

Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation is ready to embark on its next chapter and welcomes opportunities to visit available properties and connect with prospective landlords to understand their vision and needs. Kaleidoscope thrives on seeing potential, adapting to new spaces, and bringing energy, resources and creativity to every project.

Whether through simple tenancy or deeper collaboration, we are ready to adapt to the preferences of each property owner. Above all, we look forward to creating a welcoming home that will allow our work—and Bermuda’s creative potential—to flourish.

About Us

Established in 2006, Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation is a registered non-profit dedicated to empowering Bermuda’s children through creative expression and connection with nature. With a deep belief in the importance of the arts, Kaleidoscope was founded in response to a clear need for innovative art programming that would engage children island-wide and help them discover their fullest potential.

Kaleidoscope delivers vibrant, hands-on educational experiences from its current base at the historic old Elliot Primary School, reaching more than 1,000 children each year from diverse backgrounds. Our signature mosaic of programming—including public preschool and primary school partnerships, after-school classes, home school groups, camps, and early childhood education—ensures that creativity, critical thinking, and a spirit of exploration are accessible to all.

Since our founding, Kaleidoscope has supported over 10,000 young Bermudians on their creative journeys. Many who first came as young participants have grown to become volunteers, assistants, and even teachers, reflecting Kaleidoscope’s central role in nurturing lifelong engagement and leadership in education and the arts.

Our vision remains steadfast: to foster children’s problem-solving abilities, self-confidence, imagination, and resilience through art, nature, and the creative process. We are particularly committed to learning through play and hands-on experimentation, believing that every child deserves the chance to make, explore, and grow in a supportive environment. In nearly two decades of service, Kaleidoscope has become a cornerstone of Bermuda’s creative landscape and a trusted partner to families, educators, and community organizations across the island.

Proven Record

Kaleidoscope has a demonstrated history of successful property revitalization. When we began our tenancy at the Old Elliot School, the building and its grounds were in significant disrepair. In partnership with local contractors, donors, and dedicated volunteers, we:

Installed new electrical and plumbing systems throughout the building
Rebuilt ceilings and replaced/repaired windows
Upgraded key infrastructure, including heating, water, and safety systems
Installed kitchens, retiled bathrooms, and renovated all classrooms and common areas
Built a lush, productive garden with fencing, planting over 15 trees (including ten fruit trees), as well as pollinator beds, edible gardens, and outdoor learning spaces integral to our programming

The restoration of the Old Elliot School was made possible through a combination of community fundraising, loans, and significant in-kind donations of materials and time. The initial restoration project costs in 2006 were approximately $800,000 with significant additional improvements undertaken over the course of our tenancy. Our ability to manage substantial capital improvements and faithfully maintain a historic property underscores our value as a long-term, responsible tenant.

This hands-on experience in managing substantial capital improvements, fundraising, and mobilizing community support underscores our readiness to take a new property – now backed by nearly two more decades of experience.
