\u00ab\u00a0From October 28-30th, Nova Scotia\u2019s creative community will gather in Halifax to learn about how Art Hives build communities across the world and in Nova Scotia. A strategic plan will be developed by attendees to support Art Hives in the province and to deepen their impact. How can we connect the work being done in this sector to social and economic change projects in Nova Scotia?<\/p>\n
An Art Hive is a community creative space that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It’s a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.<\/p>\n
Event Description<\/strong><\/p>\n Art Hives is a term coined by Concordia University\u2019s professor Janis Timm-Bottos. \u201cIt\u2019s not a franchise. It\u2019s not a business or a service. It\u2019s about citizens interested in making the world a better place for themselves and their children,\u201d says Janis about Art Hives in a Montreal Gazette article.<\/p>\n Inspired by Janis\u2019 lead, and noticing the long history and tradition of free community art spaces in Nova Scotia, \u2018Art Hives\u2019, universities, Halifax Public Libraries and others from across Nova Scotia are coming together to participate in the first Art Hives Symposium in the region.<\/p>\n 150 attendees and leaders from the community, private and public sectors and from communities across the province will gather for three days of learning, dialogue, networking, strategic planning and community-based experiences in Halifax\u2019s North End, Central Library and Mount Saint Vincent from October 28-30th.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n For more information and the schedule, please visit arthives.org<\/a><\/p>\n -posted with permission from Art Hives \u00ab\u00a0From October 28-30th, Nova Scotia\u2019s creative community will gather in Halifax to learn about how Art Hives build communities across the world and in Nova Scotia.
