“Empathy starts from within”
— Jean Parker
“Empathy can be this shared experience that can happen between people. It’s an immediate understanding of what another person is feeling because they have also gone through it.”
— Nicole Gruszecki
“Art heals by accepting the pain and doing something with it.”
— Shaun McNiff
“I think art can help us have more compassion for ourselves, because you come into contact with a part of yourself you can't avoid.”
— Cammi Manchur
Let’s create together
Introducing Creative Co-working at Canopy Studios!
Does the work you do relate to art and/or wellness? In 2024, we are planning on opening up our space for members of our creative community to co-work at Canopy Studios located in a historical home in lower mount royal just off of 17th ave SW.
We want to expand our art and wellness community and provide more opportunities for creatives to create and connect. This would be a perfect space for creative writers, wellness practitioners, artists working on administration or in need of meeting space.
Is this a co-work space that interests you? We would love your feedback as we set up our membership packages! Hoping to open up membership applications in the new year! Stay tuned!!
“…someday the arts will be considered as significant and essential in everyone’s lives as breathing fresh air, eating clean foods, and engaging in physical exercise.”
-Renée Phillips

Not creative you say? Well did you know that the NASA creativity test has proven that 98% of children under the age of 5 are creative genius’? Find out more on this Tedx Talk by Dr. George Land. That incredible imagination we all had as children still lives within us and would not take long to re-discover with a little creative exercise. Research also shows that tapping into your own creativity can be used as a powerful tool to improve mental health and overall well-being which is why Canopy Studios is so passionate about bringing awareness to the healing power of art and providing opportunities for our diverse community to attend the creative workshops hosted in our space!
Join us and discover the magic of the creative process, let go of artistic expectations, find a deeper connection with yourself as well as with others who are also inviting the arts into their life.
