The Art Gallery of Mississauga gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Hazel McCallion Arts, Culture and Heritage Fund 2022 at the Community Foundation of Mississauga, a registered charitable public foundation serving the people of Mississauga.

Art Hive provides a free, creative, welcoming space that fosters positive mental health, inclusion, community, respect and learning through the creation of art; providing marginalized and diverse community members/groups a safe space to gather and create.
The Art Hive is a free community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist and believes art making is an inherent human behaviour and supportive of positive mental health and well-being. It fosters self-directed art-making in community with others. Through creative activities and dialogues, individuals learn about themselves and others thereby strengthening both personal and community connections. The Open Studio Process provides an opportunity for stress relief and creative problem solving.

The Community Foundation of Mississauga has been matching acts of caring with community needs since 2001. Working with donors and the broader community, the Foundation invests in building strong and resilient places to live, work and play. By providing effective and efficient endowment options for donors, the Foundation is creating a lasting legacy of community vitality.
