Join our weekly Art Hive that welcomes everyone as an artist!
Artmaking is a powerful way to relax, recharge, and improve your wellbeing. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a curious beginner, this is a space to explore, experiment, and play with creative expression. Open to folks 16+, this is a free program and all materials are provided.
Harper Johnston, art therapist and facilitator, is onsite to offer support, encouragement, and optional weekly activities to spark your imagination.
Art Hive embraces the concept of “art as therapy” to enhance relaxation and well-being, however, it is not formal art therapy and is not a substitute for professional medical care or consultation.

She is a Registered Psychotherapist, Professional Art Therapist, and a Play Therapy intern with her own private practice in Kingston.
