MEET CHRISSY AND KYLE
Since 2009, Chrissy Poitras and Kyle Topping have been cultivating a vibrant hub for artists at Spark Box Studio, at their studio located in Prince Edward County, Ontario. Over the years, they’ve welcomed more than 450 artists from around the globe—painters, poets, musicians, filmmakers, and more—seeking a dedicated space to step away from the demands of daily life and immerse themselves in their practice.

At its heart, Spark Box Studio is a resource created by artists, for artists. It’s a space designed to inspire creativity, foster research, and encourage growth. Whether it’s through mentorship, workshops, or simply the quiet support of an open studio, Spark Box aims to equip artists with the tools, skills, and connections to confidently share their visions with the world.

Both Poitras and Topping are graduates of Queen’s University’s Bachelor of Fine Art Studio program and are practicing artists specializing in painting, installation art and printmaking. Their dedication to the arts extends beyond Spark Box, both teaching at Loyalist College and OCADU, they’ve also developed and led courses on studio arts and arts management, all while remaining deeply engaged with their local and national artistic communities.
