What is the Art Hive Network?
The Art Hives Network connects small and regenerative community art studios (known as Art Hives) together in order to build solidarity across geographic distances. This effort seeks to strengthen and promote the benefits of these inclusive, welcoming spaces across Canada, and throughout the world. Also known as ”public homeplaces,” these third spaces, create multiple opportunities for dialogue, skill-sharing, and art-making between people of different socio-economic backgrounds, ages, cultures and abilities.
