Final week of Virtual Art Hive @Agnes this fall

This week’s project looks at miniatures. Adults are invited to explore artistic processes through experimentation and play. If you are looking for more guidance, our art therapist is present to support your creative journey. Art Hive @Agnes addresses themes of empowerment, wellness and self-care, while fostering a safe space and a sense of community. No artistic experience is necessary and projects are designed to use materials you already have on hand.

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