Art Hives Intentions and Images for 2023
Making images is a way of breaking boundaries, loosening outworn ideas, and making way for the new
Pat B. Allen.
Qu'est-ce qui vous a motivé à démarrer cette ruche d'art ?
La forte croyance dans le pouvoir de transformation de l'art comme vecteur de changement social.
Quelle est une chose qui fonctionne très bien dans votre ruche d'art ?
Les facilitatrices sont dans la grande majorité des étudiantes en beaux arts, en éducation des arts et en psychologie (avec un intérêt vers l'art thérapie). L'échange avec d'autres étudiant.es qui participent à la ruche se fait très spontanément et permet de briser simplement la hiérarchie des savoirs.

Art Hives are a global movement, founded in Canada, to help likeminded people start community-based studios. At an Art Hive (Ruche d’art in French), anyone can work on self-directed artistic projects, with no instruction or direction. The concept was conceived by Janis Timm-Bottos, an art therapist and associate professor at Concordia University.

What motivated you to start this art hive?
Each of us being creative at heart, we both had experienced the personal, therapeutic and community benefits of participating in Art Hives during several years. Throughout, we were always feeling inspired to bring an Art Hive to Dorval, since there were none offered in our own community. We decided to collaborate on starting a Dorval Art Hive, after meeting in Janis Timm-Bottos' "Community Arts Studio" course at Concordia,
Qu'est-ce qui vous a motivé à démarrer cette ruche d'art ?

2022 Fall Symposium
Dear Community Member,

J’ai eu l’occasion de faire une petite virée à la ruche d’arts de Cowansville que j’ai adoré. La facilitatrice au chandail peace&love était accueillante et m’a fait visiter l’atelier. D’une propreté hors du commun, tout était rangée, chaque chose à sa place. Cette ruche cohabite avec la bibliothèque et il y a même un labo médiatique et numérique. Les idées se boursculent dans mon esprit. C’est enfin la ruche la plus près de mon nouveau chez moi à St-Césaire, j’y reviendrais, c’est certain.
Les Ruches d'Art sont fières de faire partie du Sommet Virtuel d'Art Thérapie Francophone!

Button-making and brooch-making stations greeted people as they arrived, and helped ease attendees into the Art Hive experience. “The entranceway activities were a great ice-breaker,” says Patricia Buckley, Digital Curator and Special Collections Librarian. “They made people feel comfortable before they moved on to the other activities.”

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Janis Timm-Bottos co-created a studio space for the community with artists who were homeless. ''I have been involved over the years with developing different models for creating small and sustained spaces and communities so that people can come together across sometimes pretty big divides and have a safe space to have conversation and make art together.'' Later, working at Concordia University, she made a similar space with her students, which they eventually developed into a global network.

Here's the buzz about the new "Art Hive" at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
CTV Montreal

It’s a place where your inner artist is welcomed— a community studio that harnesses and promotes inclusion, respect, and learning.
It’s called an art hive, and there are hundreds of them throughout Canada and across the globe. There’s no formal instruction, no admission fee, and no requirements to participate. It’s a community studio that provides people the opportunity to explore myriad creative outlets at their own leisure.
Dr. Leah Lewis is an assistant professor at Memorial University, counseling psychologist, creative arts therapist and project lead of the Open Art Studio or Art Hive in St.John's, NL.
Art Hives are forms of community based practice, grounded is social justice and art therapy frameworks. Also known as open studios, art hives create publicly accessible spaces for people to gather, exchange, and make art.
