BEING Artist
Our Program
BEING studio is open to adults with developmental disabilities who are interested in exploring their creativity. In the studio, artists are supported by our staff, who provide one-on-one mentorship and facilitate workshops with guest artists.
BEING also provides opportunities for artists to exhibit and sell their work. Proceeds from art sales made through the studio are divided evenly between the artist and BEING’s operating fund.
Artists generally work in the studio one day a week, from 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. The studio currently supports artists working in drawing, painting, and creative writing. Occasionally we offer workshops in other media.
Accessibility
The Bronson Centre is an accessible venue. The studio is located on the third floor and can be accessed by elevator. Attendant care workers are always welcome.
Program Fees
For the 2020 calendar year, we are excited to offer BEING Home, an online art program designed to keep our community connected, creating and sharing. You'll love all the wonderful things about BEING Home. Meet new people in weekly video chats, browse accessible arts-based content, share your experiences and find a supportive creative community of people like you, who want to stay connected and creative from home.
