Art Hives’ Science Shop presents Urbanbodies : an exploration of what matters in our everyday lives and neighbourhoods, in partnership with  University of the Streets Cafe.

This series of public art making conversational labs will explore the theme of the body as it lives and dies, grows and ages, struggles and thrives in the urban environment.

 

1. Bodies of water: what are our needs, our responsibilities?     

On Monday, October 17, 2016 the LivingRoom Community Art Studio, an Art Hive in Oshawa, ON hosted Art Hives 101, a full-day workshop covering the founding principles and methods as well as the practical aspects (models and legal structures, financial, social and environmental sustainability) of starting an art hive in one's community or organization, offered by the Art Hives Network. This workshop is designed for people of all backgrounds interested in starting an Art Hive in their community and was facilitated by Rachel Chainey, Art Hives Network National Coordinator.

PARLONS TERRE, une exposition organisée par l'Atelier de Science de la Ruche d'Art, mettant en vedette es oeuvres créées par les étudiants en sciences du CÉGEP Vanier ainsi que des citoyen.nes intéressé.es à explorer les intersections infinies entre les arts et les sciences.

On Saturday, April 9th, 2016, Dr. Janis-Timm-Bottos, Art Hives founder and director, was a guest presenter at the Art Therapy Spring Symposium 2016 of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

The Science Shop is Art Hives Network’s new initiative in collaboration with Vanier College and Concordia’s office of the VP, graduate and research department. The aim of these public science events is engage the community in public conversations about the intersection between science and creativity. Taking place in the community art studio La Ruche d’Art, a life sized cabinet of curiosities packed with art supplies, a multitude of art made by community members and a whole host of odds and ends, one may think it an odd place to be discussing molecules and mutations, among others.

We were so lucky to welcome Janis to the West Coast this past week. We shared food, ideas, stories, and gained lots of valuable insight and support from someone who has been a huge inspiration to our work. Reflecting on that visit, and the impact it's had on so many people in our community, we wanted to offer some photos and share what's happening in our Vancouver Art Hives community. The Magpies were happy to meet with Janis and introduce her to our new board members, show her our new space, and attend talks at Groundswell Economics Alternatives and Adler University.

The model and practice of Art Hives have evolved through two decades of sustained practice research, continuous observation and adaptation, and experimentation with spaces and organizational structures led by Dr. Janis Timm-Bottos, who has developed and established six successful art hives in different locations across North America.

New York! The city of food, architecture, art, straight-talking people, non-stop walking, The High Line, jazz, Broadway, the five boroughs…And a city that takes its notions of community very seriously.

We now have 14 Art Hives on www.arthives.org. Discover a hive near you.

And if yours is missing, please add it to the growing list.

See all the beautiful Art Hives

Leo and I recently joined 500 other participants, mainly academics, at the 15th Annual Engagement Scholarship Consortium conference hosted by the University of Alberta at the Edmonton Shaw Conference Centre (October 6-8, 2014). We were fortunate to have a strong local team that took on the design, set-up, and facilitation of a pop-up art hive for the two-day conference.

To Combat Weak Social Ties, a New Way to Create

An 'arts hive' with focus on therapy puts expression before instruction.

Callie Rose Literary Arts Cafè is a for-profit social enterprise serving the Inglewood community near Los, Angeles, CA, USA. We are a literary arts community that focuses on storytelling, all genres of writing, spoken word, fabric arts, and the old-fashion art of face-to-face dialogue to spur personal and community transformation. It seems like we align with Art Hives in many ways and are happy to join this community to share resources. . www.callierosela.com.

Canadian practitioners converge on Concordia to learn to build an “art hive” for every community

http://www.concordia.ca/cunews/main/stories/2014/06/12/can-art-transformcommunities.html

Take one modest storefront on a street in a working-class neighbourhood; fill it with donations of paints, fabrics and other recyclables; throw open the doors to the community to come make art. What do you get? A community art hive. Or, in French, a ruche d’art.
