This Week at Agnes

Virtual Art Hive @Agnes

We are moving Art Hive @Agnes online! Join us for this popular program using our new virtual platform. Adults (18+) will be invited to explore the artistic process through experimentation and play. If you are looking for more guidance, our art therapist and facilitator will be present to support your creative journey by offering inspired thematic projects. Art Hive @Agnes will address themes of empowerment, wellness and self-care, while fostering a safe space and a sense of community. This accessible program is free; no artistic experience is necessary.

Registration will open this week.
