Since our first Virtual Art Hive @Agnes in April 2020, the program has grown to become an online community of care for creatives looking to connect and make art together. Each session we invite you to independently create while finding inspiration through weekly themes and the conversations you have. All levels of artistic experience are welcome.

You are welcome to work on existing projects or experiment and play by creating with your favourite materials. Participants often collage, knit, embroider, draw and paint. You may want to have some of the following materials close at hand:

● Printer paper
● Thick paper such as bond paper or recycled cardboard
● Pencil crayons or markers
● Fine tipped black marker
● Pencil and eraser
● Scissors and tape and glue stick

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