What Is The Hive?

The Hive is an artist-led creative initiative founded by Azareah York, dedicated to making art-making more accessible, less intimidating, and more human.

Through guided workshops, community partnerships, and shared creative space, The Hive invites people to slow down, explore, and create without pressure, performance, or prerequisite.

What We Offer

Guided Art Workshops

Thoughtfully facilitated art workshops designed for both beginners and experienced creatives. Each session focuses on process over performance, giving participants structured guidance, quality materials, and the freedom to explore without pressure. Workshops range from reflective, meditative making to concept-driven creative exercises, and are adaptable for different groups, spaces, and experience levels.

Creative Wellness & Reflection

Creativity is not just about producing work—it’s also a way of listening, processing, and reconnecting with ourselves. Many Hive workshops are designed as gentle containers for reflection, stress relief, and emotional presence, using art-making as a grounding and restorative practice rather than a test of skill or talent.

Partnered Community Programs

The Hive collaborates with apartment communities, schools, galleries, and organizations to bring accessible, well-facilitated creative experiences into shared spaces. These programs can be tailored for community building, staff wellness, youth programs, or special events, and are shaped in conversation with each partner’s goals and needs.

The Hive is for:

  • Adults and young adults

  • Beginners and experienced creatives

  • Communities, apartments, schools, and organizations

  • Anyone seeking a more intentional, supportive and human creative experience
