Drop-in to our weekly Art Hive that welcomes everyone as an artist! Artmaking is innately therapeutic and can improve general well-being. We invite folks 16+ to join us and explore the creative process through experimentation and play.
Art Hive is free, materials are provided and no prior artistic experience is necessary. If you are looking for more guidance, Harper Johnston, art therapist and facilitator, is onsite to offer support through suggestions, encouragement and an optional weekly activity.
Please note, this program explores the idea of “art as therapy” as a means to relax and increase wellbeing through creative expression. Art Hive @Agnes is not formal Art Therapy and is not a replacement for professional medical assistance or consultation.
