It takes a village to make a place comfortable, welcoming, and relaxing!

We are using this opportunity to thank Nadeem at the Eastern Food Market who lent us these milk crates so our fantastic Artasia team could make these beautiful benches!

After an incredible Saturday, we are back again today starting at noon. Check our our latest schedule (link in bio) to take part in Artasia Town Hall discussions with community leaders.

We witnessed many magical moments yesterday! We overheard many interesting conversations between kids and adults. We took part in many discussions with #HamOnt community leaders. So many things to reflect on for a long time...!

Stop by at York Blvd. today and say hi, make some art and take part in discussions! We are located at the Family Zone (A9).

Join us tomorrow (Saturday 10th) and Sunday (11th)

Join us tomorrow (Saturday 10th) and Sunday (11th) and experience community leaders listening to children and youth voice. We invited community leaders and they agreed to join us at the Supercrawl. We cannot be happier about this fantastic opportunity.

Children and Youth know that their future is profoundly shaped by community leaders. That's why we're asking changemakers, and political influencers to side with us in building the child-friendly cities of tomorrow.
This summer, young people in the Artasia program have expressed their commitments to building a better world, and now they are asking leaders to do the same.

They are excited to share the fruits of their creativity with you and our community leaders at the Supercrawl Town Hall.

Looking forward to meeting community leaders at Supercrawl! Swipe right the slides to see the full schedule or visit our website (link in bio).

We are very excited for Supercrawl this year! We cannot wait to show you the artworks of 1,325 children and youth around Hamilton! They wondered What If...

Join us tomorrow at Supercrawl. Let's imagine together!

Each year, Artasia connects young people to creativity, and in 2022 we extend our wholesome habits of placemaking and empathy to share an important message:

We Belong!

Through the arts, we aim to co-create a more welcoming world. We are caring for animals, plants, and the planet because they are our future. We’re connecting with our neighbours in local parks and streets, and sharing our ideas with community leaders. Using digital tools, we’re amplifying our voices, and putting our vision on the map. Will you join us? Take a deep breath, and act like you belong: because you do!

Artasia begins with a simple creative process: going for a walk. Take a few steps through your neighbourhood with your eye and your mind switched on: to observe and to imagine.

This weekend we will be at the @supercrawl Join and let's have fun together!

Building with donated coroplast from used election signs, kids have been expressing them selves all summer long on a range of themes. They are excited to share the fruits of their creativity with you at our Supercrawl Town Hall. Join us for productive discussions with community leaders to make our City a place where everyone belong!

Last week Lisa Hepfner visited us at the HCA and had a lovely chat with the Artasia team including Canada Summer Jobs students.

We are grateful for the Canada Summer Jobs funding. This support created opportunities for both children and youth in our communities to engage in the arts. Providing access to Arts for everyone, everywhere, everyday is our vision.

We are excited to announce Supercrawl 2022 happening this September 10th and 11th on York Blvd!

@supercrawl is a free annual outdoor art and music festival held in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, showcasing a diverse and dynamic lineup of music, art, fashion, performance, talks, crafts, food and fun.

This is an excellent way for the community to come together and rejoice in the arts of our youth, for the children to be proud of what they made, and to inspire others.

This is our first event since COVID-19 –and we want it to be BIG!

This event is open to everyone – parents, kids, and the kids at heart!
