so you think you're a bad artist? ep.6
What is it?
We've always wanted to create an art cafe in Toronto, that no matter your level as an artist, you can just come and reconnect with the joy of creating art, and letting your inner creative go free.
So we created this self-guided art experience with prompts to help guide you (if you need any guidance), and you can choose between color pencil, markers, oil pastel and so on as an art form to create!
This is a curated art event series that will take place at cute cafes across Toronto. Different from our monthly community events where capacity and supplies are limited, with "so you think you're a bad artist?", we're hoping to provide opportunities for more people to engage with art more frequently! 👯
No more waiting around for the best time to start making art again, the best time is now and you should join us and be a part of the movement.
Can't come to this one? No sweat, subscribe to our event calendar for upcoming event date releases!

The People Behind the Event
We started as a group of people who wanted to stay connected with our passions but also with friends. By sharing our hobbies, we found a low-stakes and fun way to make new friends and deepen existing bonds. 👯
We have been running free community events every week, with attendees chipping in to cover materials costs when needed. 💵 Events like this help us continue supporting our community members' creative pursuit, while also help raise community funds to purchase supplies, keep costs low for everyone, and pay for any potential rental fees that might occur. 💪
Your support helps us continue to build a welcoming community where we can all explore and share our passions. 🥰 If you want to see more events like this, please support by attending the event or donating to us! If interested, we'd also love to connect and share our experiences with anyone wanting to build a similar community. 🏠
