Come join us to the round table dedicated to poets in our community. Four poets: Daryl Zoellner, Lady Rojas Benavente, Lisa Potter and Marcia Goldberg will present what inspired them to follow this creative path and recite one poem.

Poetry may mean keeping a balance of thoughts on delicate subjects as equity, inclusion, and loss. It may be storytelling about pets. Or simply a way to express oneself and stay creative. Come be part of the discussion, sharing your own experience or poem!

Daryl Zoellner’s roots are in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia. She has fully bloomed, however, in Quebec. She is interested in various arts including poetry, and has her studio known as Mes tables.

Peruvian-Canadian writer, Lady Rojas Benavente created an taught literature for 50 years in many academic settings from Peru to Canada, including Concordia University. She is now professor emerita and actively involved in the Latin American communities.

Lisa Potter is an “active engager” and she uses art and poems as creative venues. She is working on a story of a cat named Pogo and will present two poems that she wrote recently.

Marcia Goldberg is a retired teacher of English. She writes poetry, and during the pandemic, she joined a women writers’ online gathering pioneered by Lise Weil, a teacher and friend.

The Creative Science Shop is a monthly meet-up welcoming an exchange of ideas, innovations, scientific and artistic projects. This intergenerational group brings together passion in the arts and sciences from older adults, students, and researchers.

Come to this opportunity to learn and share on how art-making can be so meaningful when it is in relation to others.

To what extent art skill shares can make life worthwhile? What is the transformative power of art-making in relation to others? Two members from the Art Hive Network will share their stories with us. Join the discussion on how this resonates with you, your own life and your professional or academic interests!

Edna Katz-Silver is an artist, actress, sculptress, Judaica jewelry designer, and furniture maker in commercial and private spheres. As an art teacher, she believes that teaching is healing for both parties.


For the past 30 years, Sondra Goldman has been a practicing Montreal artist and art therapist, working for senior residents and inspiring them to expand their expressive capacity. She also created one of the first institutional Art Hives in Canada.

Join us on Thursday, November 11 from 2:30 to 4:00 pm for the Creative Science Shop on “When Writing Comes to Life”.

Come to this bilingual science workshop on the theme of creative writing.

Where does inspiration come from? How do you nurture the writing process? And what is the meaning of sharing it? Our two guests will give their perspectives, Eva Halus, from the point of view of an author and member of the Art Hive community, and Patrcia Landry, from the angle of publishing as a way to build bridges to help people with mental health issues.

A community discussion will follow. You are all welcome to share your experience during the discussion that will follow.

“Art was the link between everything. It was very important to me during the pandemic because everything stopped at once, but the Hive came to us at home,” Desmarteaux.

ESTelle Gagné

Rayonnants de sérénité?
Quand la douleur nous assomme et le corps ne supporte pas ces graves cris
Quand les dents du désespoir mordent l’esprit
Quand la mort cannibale veut-elle faire de nous une bouchée
Nous nous réfugions dans notre jardin intérieur
Quelqu’un nous chante une berceuse et peu à peu notre je enfantin s’endort
Nous retrouvons nos fidèles amoureux de jeunesse clapotant dans les eaux de l’Océan
Tout d’un coup nous dansons la valse du couple joyeux
Ou
Nous tournons seules ou seuls
nous apprivoisons nos peurs
nous inventons l’état de grâce
Malgré les maladies et les blessures
Malgré le vieillissement et les accidents
Malgré les tourments et les tourmentes
La fête de la vie est encore au rendez-vous.

Adios Puerto Vallarta!

Ce fut une belle expérience relaxante que de faire de l’art tous les jours durant mes vacances.

Mon espace de création

Depuis le 13 mars 2020, mon espace de vie et de création se sont fusionnés. Autant cuisiner pour nourrir mon corps, autant l’art visuel nourrit mon mental. Ma cuisine, sa grande table de bois, ses chaises solides, mon portable Apple ont été littéralement colonisés durant ces mois d’enfermement.

Le thème de l’exposition était difficile pour moi à illustrer en l’art visuel mais voilà la photographie d’une installation de l’autel d’art organisé qui illustre bien mon désordre créateur.

Bienvenue dans mon intimité sans virus.

Démarche:
Se créer un espace libre dans un monde changeant
Avancer avec des repères vers l’inconnu

Process:
Create oneself a free space in a changing world
To move forward with reference points towards the unknown
Installation on the balcony, on a stable and changing background

Créer dans le désordre
Créer sous pression
Partager, partager, partager
Zoomer, zoomer, zoomer
Tenter de représenter l’amour
Sur un bout de papier
Tout ranger
Tenter de vivre l’amour, l’affection

My pets are a relaxed and cozy addition to my studio when I create. This image is my little Prince.

Blue Vase and Flowers Blooming. Pastel.
Flowers have a spirit of their own that add energy to my creative space.

I appreciate the efforts from the beginning of going on line to the creative process that has resulted. Just like the process of creating art ! So pleased to see continued results. @sharonb.s

“Une salle à diner, devenue salle à dessiner, à placoter, à partager.
Échange de couleur, échange de chaleur humaine.
S’enfermer chez soi, pour finalement connecter un peu plus avec le monde, quel paradoxe.
Prendre du temps, prendre du recul, se poser.”

Medium: Acrylic, silk flowers, glitter on canvas

Size: 16” x20 ”

Date: 2021

As I took a walk that evening, the moon seemed to have this blue hue reflecting in the trees, and then bounced off these flowers. To me it seemed that the trees and flowers were dancing I got inspired and created both hue, this is my interpretation 

Artist: NicoleM

Title: Blue Tree Fiesta

Medium: Acrylic, silk flowers, sequins on 2 canvases

Size: 32” x 24”

The diptych Blue Tree Fiesta is the continuing inspiration from the full moon.  I was wowed by the seasonal “Blue Moon” that occurred on Sunday (Aug. 22) . I later found out that it’s the last time we will see this type of moon until 2023.
