A four-day experiential intensive teaching the theory, methods and materials to create inclusive public home places which bring multiple opportunities for community building and healing through art making, dialogue and skillsharing into neighbourhoods.

It is designed for professionals who are already working in an Art Hive setting or are serious about getting started. While covering the theoretical underpinnings, the course will also provide plenty of time for group discussion and co-creation, Art Hives site visits and hands-on open studio sessions.
