Bringing people together through art
The idea for Dots & Lines began in 2018 during a social drawing workshop at a cozy champagne bar in Copenhagen. I met a talented Ukrainian artist who shared his struggles finding venues and promoting his events. This inspired me to create a platform and supportive framework where diverse artists could connect with broader audiences through their art. Creativity is a journey we take together, and I believe it has the power to ignite meaningful change.
When I moved to Calgary in 2022 with my family, I made it my mission to bring that vision here. Bringing together talented local artists and curious minds, our hands-on workshops go beyond making art—they’re about building community, sparking discovery, and sharing joy.
I invite you to join us at dotslines.ca to explore, create, and be part of a community where every dot connects and every line leads to new possibilities. Discover your creative journey here—with us.
We make it easier for you to discover and book the best creative workshops and experiences the city has to offer. Whether you are looking for new creative skills or a fun activity with friends and colleagues, we’ve got you covered.
Each experience on Dots & Lines is hosted by a local artist or creative, and has been carefully selected to ensure you have a memorable and fun experience.
