The Clown Farm is the labour of love of John Turner, Canadian clown extraordinaire of Mump & Smoot fame.

Situated in the heart of glorious Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada, The Clown Farm is surrounded by rolling fields, gentle forests and tranquil inland lakes. Students come from around the globe to explore the worlds of their creativity. Here they find an ideal setting for training that can be applied on a personal or professional level. While the inspiration for the work is primarily on the development and growth of the artist, students at the introductory level come from all walks of life (teachers, musicians, professors, doctors, carpenters etcetera). The aspiring or established artist will also find strong focus on the creation and/or performance of professional works.
