Our Story
Some things are just better in person.
Canvas is a community hub for anyone looking for a way into creating. Doesn't matter if you're here to make new friends, make something tangible, or just have a good time. It's all welcome here.
We offer creative classes, workshops, exhibitions, and more, all built around one idea: creativity is better shared. Canvas is built for a room full of people making things or sharing an experience, together.
Everyone has a creative side. It just shows up differently.
Founder & Creative Director
Amber Nicole
I'm Amber, and this whole thing started with burnout.
Most people know me for my art, but after a run of commissions and participating in festivals and events, I was completely burned out and isolated. Worst of all, I stopped creating.
I needed to try something new and get out of the house. I want to do something that used my hands and where I could meet people without a big ask attached to it.
I took one creative workshop after another and somewhere in there realized my happiness was never really about the finished piece. It was in laughing with new people and making something for the first time as a beginner.
I wanted to be part of building more of that for other people, because I know what it's like to need it.
People today are still isolated and just want to have fun. They want to leave the house. They want to be around others without wondering if they're being sized up or taken advantage of. They just want a good time and something to show for it.
So, I built Canvas, a place for people to find their creative, share their expressions, and meet their people.
