Arts Outreach

We believe in Arts for Everyone. Our Arts Outreach programs help in making that happen. We offer a variety of programs, from educator training, to classes and groups offered in partnership with other organizations, to low cost or free art making opportunities in our studio.

What We Offer

Art Hives

This is a free, low-barrier space that welcomes all to make and share in the creative atmosphere. It’s a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. It is about inclusion, respect, and creative responses to things that matter. Art-making is a human behaviour. An Art Hive encourages self-directed experiences of creativity, learning and skill sharing.

  • We welcome Adults and families alike.

Arts Sandbox Drop-in Family Crafting Workshops

This is an accessible workshop for families to come create together. We ask for donations to help keep the program running and to help with the purchase of some supplies

In the Arts Sandbox

The arts have been proven to offer a vast array of benefits for mental health and mental wellbeing. It is great for all ages and all creative levels. We are all creative beings and tapping into that creativity can unlock tools, resources, and resilience we can use, wherever we are on our mental wellness journey. Engaging in the arts in this way leaves behind the need for perfection and allows for therapeutic journeys in creativity.
Our Arts Sandbox program invites you to play with the arts. We invite our community to use arts for wellness, through groups offered to underserved populations and an Art Hive offering free art activities at our location and around the Peninsula. This programming is offered through the support of grant funding and donations of both money and art supplies from our community.

Everyone is welcome
