Hands & Canvas: Beyond the Studio

Create where you are. Let it travel further.

Beyond the Studio gives artists and volunteers a way to create artwork, interactive activities, and simple art kits for child-serving organizations without needing to attend a physical workshop.

Create From Anywhere

Shareable Art

Create-With-Me

Studio Kits

Made beyond one room

Drawing, cutting, designing, assembling — contribution can happen anywhere.

This stock footage is atmospheric; once Beyond the Studio has its own contributor photographs, those can replace or accompany it.

Three ways to create

Choose what feels natural to you.

No previous art experience is required. Projects can be adapted to different skill levels and interests.

Create-With-Me Art

Colouring pages, drawing sheets, finish-the-art prompts, collaborative illustrations, mini comics, and design challenges.

Studio Kits

Printed activities, pencils or coloured pencils, erasers, optional sketchbooks, and simple assembled creative kits.

Hands & Canvas volunteer creating alongside children at an in-person workshop — Hands & Canvas in-person programming shown here; Beyond the Studio extends the same invitation to contribute beyond the workshop room.

Create something. Pass the possibility on.

The goal is not perfection.

A volunteer can contribute with experience, without experience, with traditional materials, digitally, or through assembling resources that make it easier for someone else to create.
