When we arrived in Montreal, one of the first places we sought out was an art museum/artist studio with drop-in art making. Turned out to be a place that um pushed the definition of art museum, and I had confused the open drop-in art-making studio with the actual art museum in Montreal: Musée des beaux-arts Art Hive

"The MMFA’s Art Hive is a creative community studio where each participant is welcomed as an artist, regardless of their experience in art making. Art materials are provided free of charge and a museum mediator and an art therapist are on hand to help you get started. Everyone is encouraged to express themselves freely at their own pace and to enjoy the creative atmosphere."
