Swallowing Clouds presents: Art Club! A series of all ages welcome art-making sessions, hosted on Zoom. Art Club focuses on individual and collaborative creation within a supportive community setting. Participants are encouraged to participate in any way they feel comfortable, it’s all about giving space for creativity without any pressure or expectation!
Participants will be led by Swallowing Clouds facilitators as well as special guest artists through various activities which will inspire and ignite a creative spark. Participants will then be offered creative prompts to help guide their creation process and given time for independent creation, all from the comfort of their own home! Participate alone or collaborate with anyone else in your home that needs a bit of creativity in their life. Come as you are, no artistic experience necessary, all ages and abilities are welcome!
Our past guest artists have included a Chinese Opera Performer, a Jingle Dress Dancer and Beadmaker, and a Singer and Musician, a Kathak dancer and choreographer, a tabla artist and composer, a poet, an animator and Capoeira artist, puppet and theatre artists, costume designers and many more!
We will explore dance and movement, music, visual art making and poetry and so much more. Participants can expect to be physically active for some part of every session and are encouraged to have any materials they might like to use on hand. Optional suggested materials to have for each session include:
- paper
- crayons, markers, pens, paint, pencils, pencil crayons etc…
- Any other craft supplies you may already have in your home
- access to a device that can play music (like your computer or phone)
- comfortable clothing to move around in
- a cleared space to move around (however big or small!)
- any tools for your favorite medium of art-making. It’s all about using what you already have on hand and following your creative desires!
Participation Fee Statement
TPDP is introducing a small participation fee for Art Club to help cover the cost of running the program. As a not-for-profit organization, we value providing high quality and enriching arts education programming and this fee helps us continue to do so. We intend to keep our programming as accessible as possible, so if this fee creates a barrier to participation for you, please reach out to us at artsedu.assist@princessproductions.ca for subsidized registration. Those who are inspired and able to make a bigger contribution, can make a donation when registering for Art Club.
Donations of $25 and above will receive a charitable tax receipt.

Values Statement
Our team of facilitators are thoughtful about the content they share with participants and we believe our offerings to be family friendly. We are a company that is proud to present and support artists from a variety of practices, backgrounds and identities including BIPOC artists, Queer artists, artists with disabilities and other underrepresented voices. We value freedom in creative expression and acknowledge that through this lens, our choices may not exactly align with others in our community. We respect that individuals can reasonably disagree on what content is family friendly.
Disclaimer
The content presented during the program is, in our opinion, appropriate for all ages, however artists that are presented do not create content exclusively for children.
A note about Zoom:
Our Zoom workshops work best when participants share their video feed with us. We have had wonderful results when the participants stay with us keeping their visual feeds live. In the pursuit of creating a safe space, facilitators will ask participants to turn their camera on during the check-in to say or wave ‘hello’ at the beginning of each session. This is to ensure we are aware of who we are sharing the digital space with. However, if you have questions/concerns about this, please reach out to our team to discuss options.
