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.

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,

When 176 people were killed after a passenger airliner was shot down near Tehran in January 2020, the Concordia community was devastated.
Two of the passengers — Siavash Ghafouri-Azar, MASc 19, and Sara Mamani, MASc 18 — were recent graduates who had just wed in Iran.

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.

One of the most troubling questions that occupies the mind of a parent of a person with a disability is, “What will happen to my child (young or adult) when I am not here or able to care for them?” This includes, “Where will they live, who will take care of them and understand their needs the way I do?”

For over a decade, art hives have provided Montreal art lovers with community art studios where they could mingle and hone their painting or mixed-media skills. Prepandemic, there were 40 of these grassroots organizations across the island. Each provided indoor space and materials to create art with little or no supervision and for free.
The hives are based on an understanding that people are creative beings, says the movement’s founder, Dr. Janis Timm-Bottos, art therapist and associate professor at Concordia University.

In August of 2020, facilitators from the global Art Hives Network were invited to engage in a 4-part workshop series during which we paused to reflect on the current functioning of the network and envision how to move forward towards greater impact and resiliency. Another purpose that brought this group together was to increase the network's capacity to evaluate its impact and build capacity across individual Art Hives to do the same.

To help us stay connected, initiatives are popping up all around the globe.

This goes to show that creativity and generosity put together can make the world a brighter place to be.

At the Concordia Downtown Campus Art Hive we have a diverse population of participants. While some join us from outside of the university we also have many students who come in to take a break from the stressors of school life, experiment and explore art making, and join the creative community in order to break isolation and enjoy some social time. Students come in and often express their struggle to find balance admidst all of the pressure and responsibility they feel while studying.

Beyond a counseling or psychotherapy practice, the future of art therapy demands a new type of creativity, solidarity, and social inclusion. This viewpoint explores the art therapy profession and the role of educational practices to envision change in uncertain times. Art therapists have the ability to offer expertise in the serious dilemmas facing humanity. In order to do so, art therapists need to learn to tolerate the messy margins of participatory experimentation, expanding conventional ways of practicing art therapy.

By Yvette Salinas, of the NDG Art Hive and St-Raymond's Cheap Art Collective When an Animator with the After School program at the St. Raymond Community Center let me know the kids were asking to do another Art Project (they had helped with the Haunted Melrose Tunnel and Kay Noele’s Quilted Quartier project), Jody Negley’s St. Henri project instantly came to mind. Besides celebrating the beauty of the city, there was something about it that had plenty of potential as a group art project.

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.

Quilted/Quartier is a project of community quilt-maps that artist Kay Noele working on in Art Hives around Montréal.
It started as a project with neighbours in St-Henri last summer, at La Ruche D'art St-Henri. Pieces of a paper map were replaced with fabric patches over the course of the summer months, and by the time autumn rolled in, Kay collected the pieces and sewed them together. A magical tapestry of neighbourhood, stories, and artistic exploration had formed on the wall.

À la Ruche d'Art, lundi dernier, en compagnie d'une soixantaine d'autre personnes de tous horizons, j'ai participé à une conversation publique, organisée par L'Université autrement: dans les Cafés, portant sur les Ruches d'Art et les makerspaces et leur rôle dans l'innovation sociale.
J'ai récolté en vrac des fragments de conversation et d'idées qui parlent les multiples facettes de nos espaces créatifs collectifs et suggèrent des pistes pour leur continuité. Je vous partage ma récolte d'inspiration ici, j'espère qu'elle vous inspirera en retour:

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.

At our Art Hives Symposium in June, we were all asked if there was anything we would like to share from our experience of setting up small site of community engaged art making.
I thought about what I could share after years of helping Janis start community studios (aka Art Hives) in various locations across the country. Every space requires a different set of parameters but how each space is set up has a major impact on what art is made there. For example, a carpeted space will not invite messy painting to occur or a dimly lit space will not welcome small scissor cutting.

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.
