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.

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.

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.
