Visual Arts Workshops

Our Visual Arts workshops provide participants with a supportive, inclusive and creative environment to engage with various artforms, encouraging positive social interaction, a strong sense of community, and artistic expression of each individual.

Anyone is welcome to attend these workshops, whether or not you experience disability and irrespective of your previous experience. Support is available to participate in all our programs. If you would prefer, we can work with you to develop a tailored program to meet the individual needs of your group. Feel free to contact us at any time to discuss your ideas.
