An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

Happy Mother's Day from the E Grid!

Wishing everyone in any and every motherly role the very best of days!! xxx

Also a reminder the E Grid will be adding a new server and doing major annual upgrades and backups from May 12th to May 22. These operations are just so much easier with the grid down. Might not take that long but we're allowing that time frame.

Also thank you to those new renters! Any new lands purchased right now will be set up on the 23rd. Everyone who purchased before today already has their land ^^
