Friday, October 2, November 6, & December 4 2026 • 6:30 PM – 8 PM • $29 per person
The Open Art Studio is a monthly evening held on the first Friday of the month at our downtown Victoria, BC studio for anyone who wants to make art without any pressure to be good at it. No experience needed, no plan required. Some people work from a prompt, some bring their own project, some just want an evening away from their phone with tea and calm music in the background.
It’s a small group by design, so there’s room to settle in (maximum 8 people).
What’s included:
- All art materials (painting, drawing, mixed media, and more)
- Optional guided creative prompts
- A warm, relaxed studio space hosted by an Art Therapist
- Tea and soft music
- Beginner-friendly, no art experience needed
- Small group — up to a maximum of 10 people
This is a good starting point if you’re hoping to start or re-ignite your art practice, are curious about using art for wellness, or just want a quiet, screen-free way to spend a friday night in Victoria.

Hosted and facilitated by Art Therapist & Counsellor Hanna Kaye Verhagen (RCC, CCC, MC, DVATI, BA). Please note: although the facilitator is a therapist, this workshop is not considered therapy and is for educational and wellness purposes only.
