Art Hive @Agnes is online! Join this creative community and make time for yourself to recharge and get inspired! Artmaking is innately therapeutic and Art Hive invites you to experiment and play as you explore the artistic process. If you are looking for more guidance, our art therapist and facilitator is present to support your creative journey by offering inspired thematic projects. Art Hive @Agnes addresses themes of empowerment, wellness and self-care while fostering a safe space and a sense of community. This weekly program is free and projects are designed to use materials you already have on hand. No artistic experience is necessary.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the Birks Family Foundation.
