More art hives happening this fall!

Art Hives

Art Hives are public spaces for people to gather and make art; to connect and engage.  Libraries are places to explore ideas; to converge and learn.  Join us at a library in St. John’s to explore, create art, and make community connections.

Memorial University’s Faculty of Education in collaboration with Memorial University Libraries and the Newfoundland & Labrador Public Libraries invite you to take part in the research project Libraries as Public “Home Spaces”: Engaging with Multiple Literacies through Community Pop-Up Art Hives. After participating in an Art Hive a researcher will ask if you are interested in filling out a feedback survey and/or having your artwork photographed for research purposes. Participation in the art hive and the research will take no more than 2 hours. Completing the feedback survey will take approximately 15 minutes.
