The Livingroom Community Art Studio

The LivingRoom is a registered non profit organization that provides people living in central Oshawa with opportunities to express themselves and connect with others through experiences of art making, skill sharing and dialogue at NO or Low Cost to themselves. We believe that EVERYONE is an artist, and welcome people from all walks of life, including those who are most marginalized, to take part in creative processes that we believe to be inherently therapeutic and empowering.

The LivingRoom Community Art Studio is a part of North Americas growing Art Hive movement. To learn more about this larger community we are a part of please visit www.arthives.org

We have a store front studio location in downtown Oshawa where people from all walks of life are welcome to drop by and make and share their art for free. Members of the community can walk in, choose from a wide range of traditional and non-traditional art materials (many of which are donated by the public) and make art that matters to them for free. We also offer: creative workshops at low or no cost for community members to teach and take part in; a LivingRoom Consignment Art Shop where people can buy one-of-a-kind community made art & handicraft at affordable prices.

We are also open to tabling at community events for organizations around Durham region - and love sharing what the studio project is about with others through talks and pop-up art studios. Check in with our Facebook page and Twitter - @lvngrmart - to keep up-to-date on what's going on near you! And if your neighbourhood or organization is interested in hosting a LivingRoom pop-up event please let us know!

The LivingRoom also wishes to recognize the financial support of The Ontario Trillium Foundation, the City of Oshawa, and donors like you for helping us bring more art to more members of the community for free!
