MOCA's Spring 2025 Season Is Now Open!

Join us for Art Hive at MOCA, a drop-in art programme that invites the whole community to stop by and create! This free programme runs bi-weekly on Monday evenings. Check below for upcoming Art Hive dates. 

Explore a range of materials and techniques, from painting and drawing to collage, guided by visiting art therapy students who will facilitate creative expression. Bring your works-in-progress and join a vibrant community, where you can find inspiration and engage in conversation. All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to professionals.

As part of our mission to be ambitiously inclusive, this programme is free to all and materials will be provided. MOCA’s first floor will also be open to explore free-of-charge to all participants.

This programme is intended for adults, seniors and teens. We recommend families with young children stop by for our TD Community Sundays for kid-friendly tours and activities each month.

Please note: Art Hive takes place on Mondays, outside of MOCA’s regular hours. Though Floors 2 and 3 of the museum will be closed, the Ground Floor will remain accessible. Seating is limited and is on a first-come first-serve basis. Stop by and explore your creative side!

What is an Art Hive

Art Hives provide free, community art-making spaces open to everyone, aiming to foster a welcoming environment for all participants. You don’t need to have any experience making art to join.

This programme draws from the research and practice of Dr. Janis Timm-Bottos, a professor at Concordia University. Learn more about Art Hives here.

About the Facilitators

Each session will be led by graduate students at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute who will facilitate a supportive space for self-expression and creativity. These students will be supported by the MOCA Learning team.
