Queerly Yours: Community Art-Making

Queerly Yours: Community Art-Making Studio

Welcome to Queerly Yours - a celebration of all things 2SLGBTQQIA+! Join us in InnerSpace Art Therapy Studio's beautiful group studio space - cozy vibes, artsy energy and aesthetically pleasing-ness. This event is a safe(r) space for folks to express themselves, meet new people, spend time in community, and get to know themselves through art-making and creativity. Connect with like-minded individuals, share stories, and embrace the diversity that makes us all unique. Let's come together to create a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere that celebrates who we are.

Theme/ title:

Self-Love through colouring - “Widening the Aperture"

Activity and what it means to the theme:

This is a visualizing exercise at imagining what the window into your body feels like, pick a

frame that best describes how you feel today, and we will create from there!

Guests will be encouraged to tap into flow state and allow their feelings to guide them. Notice how textures, colours and shapes come together on the page and how they feel in the body. We will be working with textured paper, crayons and stencils!

We will be focusing on: “Do I like this color?” Notice: “How does this color or shape feel in my body right now?”

About the Artist:

BaumbChell is a local Hamilton Artist here to provoke a sense of wonder through multimedia storytelling. You can find her creating and daydreaming in Dope Chief Studios in Jackson Square.

*Accessibility: There are no steps to enter the building / space ; there are gender-neutral washrooms available.

There is a parking lot located around the building, as well as street parking on King St.

Info: Soft start means that we won't officially get started with the event / workshop until 1:15 PM. This gives folks a chance to show up and arrive, get oriented to the space, move around the space, reflect and connect with others, grab snacks and beverages, etc.

Info: This is very approximate - but we will go around a meet everyone briefly (you are always welcome to pass or opt out of any sharing or speaking components of the workshop if you don't feel comfy). Lex will officially orient everyone to the space, where to find things, bathroom situations, etc. - as well as extend official invitations for snacks, beverages, freedom to take breaks whenever needed, art supplies. You are always welcome to speak to Lex directly if you are wishing for assistance in accessing anything in the space or have any questions or concerns.

Info: Please see description above for more specifics about the artist and their offerings. Offerings are always an invitation, so if you just wish to sit and listen and do your own thing in the space, you are more than welcome to as long as we are all being respectful of each other's space and the facilitator's capacity / ability to share their information and practice.

Info: Very approximate time frame - we will check in with one another on how the day went, what we learned or want to take from the workshop, and things that came up for us throughout the process. We will make metaphorical offerings to the group and one another in order to close in a good way. Folks are welcome to stick around for a little bit afterwards to chat further.
