The 91社区 Art Hive is a space devoted to making art and community, located within the Healthy Living Annex at the Student Wellness Hub.
We offer creative experiences to foster a sense of togetherness along with individual well-being.
Participation requires no art background or experience.
Various art supplies are at your disposal to be creative.
The Art Hive affords members of the 91社区 community the opportunity to step out of their daily challenges, spend time in a very different place, and return to their work feeling more relaxed and focused. We at the Art Hive believe it is important to be mindful of the need to disconnect from stress and to reconnect with others. This initiative is being offered weekly on Wednesday & Friday from 10:30AM - 1:00PM.
Please register 24 hours prior to the start of the workshop.

Winter is upon us! If you are seeking a cozy and warm opportunity to relax around a craft with a cup of tea, you are welcome to join us for our crocheting circle. This group aims to be an open space for queer, questioning, allies, and their friends who would like to create together while paying attention to the present moment through acceptance and self-regulation, which we don鈥檛 often pay attention to during stressful days.
Folks of all levels of crochet experience are welcome and may bring their own crafting materials and yarns if they wish. We will also be providing needles, crochet hooks and vegan yarn. If you do not have any crochet experience but are curious about the craft, we can teach you. Together, let鈥檚 crochet and knit in a world that feels safer and in which our voices are important.
We are hoping this circle can be one to share knowledge, develop new skills and nurture creativity while allowing you to take a conscious mental health break!
Please register 24 hours prior to the start of the workshop.

The workshops focus on the rising tide of antisemitism and the current Jewish experience. Each session will incorporate psychoeducation, group discussion, and exercises designed to promote self-awareness, connection, and empowerment.
