Toronto Premier Creative Hub
– get ready to meet your true self!

Welcome to Arting Around, your ultimate destination for all things creative, expressive, and community-driven.

As Toronto's only hub where diverse forms of self expression come together, we invite you to experience a world of creative possibilities. In the hustle and bustle of life, we provide the safe space, time, and gentle guidance you need to put all your worries on hold.
Hello and welcome to this safe, creative space!

I'm Julia, a Ukrainian-Canadian multimedia artist & artrepreneur, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to Arting Around.

I coined the term “arting around” to capture the playful and experimental spirit of our community.

As an immigrant and an adult with bills to pay and problems to solve, finding my tribe wasn't easy. For years, I pursued a corporate career, feeling like something huge was missing. Art helped me rediscover myself, learn how to express my true identity, and find my community. Two years ago, I opened our hub in Toronto to share this transformative experience with others.

Our talented team and I are here to guide you through the magical process of creativity and self-expression. Let's embark on this creative journey together!

Testimonials
  • Darina

    I absolutely enjoyed Julia’s masterclasses. She is a great, helpful and patient instructor. The workshop is very meditative and unleashes your creativity, that maybe you don’t even suspect that you have. With no experience in drawing and painting I ended up with a masterpiece of my own! Loved it and highly recommend it!

  • Krushi

    Following you was the best decision I made, I saw your post as a suggestion and saw that there was a workshop being organized! I was so excited as I was looking forward to joining such workshops before I get into working full time! I attended the workshop and made a beautiful glass painting with Julia, she is a wonderful artist and a beautiful teacher, Julia inspired me to give my art some value and not just do it in the free time as a hobby, she influenced me hugely when it comes to the wonders I can do in art!!

  • Madalsa Banerjee

    The Toronto plate is absolutely beautiful and well made. The was exactly how it was advertised. I am looking forward to starting a collection with this artist. 

  • Fenn

    Ornament was beautiful! So much better than I was expecting. Super fast shipping as well. Would definitely recommend (and will be ordering another one for myself).

  • Crystal Butti

    Fast shipping and arrived in good condition. I was extremely nervous buying a mirror online and shipping it but it arrived in perfect condition. Thank you for the protection. It is a beautiful piece and will be used in my wedding photos.

  • Yasmin

    Just as in the picture! Came with a personal message behind the inspiration of it and the energy it hopes to manifest and inspire in my own life. Been using it since I got it and I had no issues with it.
