Artbeat Studio Inc

Artbeat Studio Inc Healing and Empowerment through Creative Endeavour Artbeat Studio is a program which is mental health consumer initiated, peer-supported, and recovery-oriented.

It was founded by users of mental health services. This community-based studio accommodates artists whose mental health, social connection, and income make it difficult for them to individually acquire a workspace to advance their artistic technique safely and securely. The artists are supported and mentored in managing their own workplace, production, and marketing within the operating parameters of the studio. Artbeat Studio accommodates a group of nine artist applicants per six month period. The studio space also holds gallery showings of past participants - keep an eye out for exhibition announcements! Under the umbrella of Artbeat Studio Inc. are three sites: the residency studio; Studio Central Urban Arts Centre; and Upbeat Artworks Gallery Boutique. You can follow the other sites on their own social media pages and get more information on our website.

Some walk by, never noticing the battles others carry.
Art gives those battles a voice, a colour, a shape.
At Artbeat Studio, we turn struggle into expression—and expression into healing.

How to prepare art for display: While each art piece will need to be handled differently, here are some examples of how to prepare your art.

-Paint the edges of your canvas to give it a professional look
-Attach a wire for easy hanging
-Add your name, the title, date of creation, and medium to the back for easy identification
-Add a finishing spray/varnish to any work that may be transferable (pastels, graphite, charcoal, etc...)
-Protect your paper art with a frame or a plastic sheet to avoid folds or wrinkles

Following these guidelines contributes to the protection of your work and benefits us in the hanging and curation process.

Let us know if you have any questions about submitting your work to Art from the Heart. We'll be happy to answer.
