Virtual Art Hive @Agnes

Make time for yourself to recharge and get inspired! Art Hive invites you to experiment and play as you explore the artistic process. Part of Agnes’s Wellness Program, this weekly program is free and projects are designed to use materials you already have on hand. All levels of artistic experience are welcome. Sign up.

Upcoming themes include Pop Can Portraits / Acrylic Painting on 20 May and Journeys / Recycled Maps and Embroidery Yarn on 27 May.

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

Virtual Places for Critical Immersion and Collaborative Knowledge

In the framework of the Museum Without Walls project, this workshop examines how virtual spaces can become places for knowledge generation and collaboration. Artist-researchers Alexandra Antonopoulou and Eleanor Dare share their experiences in the decade-long Phi Books, a writing project engaged with human and non-human creative collaboration, generating forms of visual, sonic, animated, and embodied storytelling. Sign up for this free workshop.

Museum Without Walls is funded by the Espírito Santo State Cultural Offices (Secult-ES) and counts with the support of the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Canada.
