About this event

Art club is an open invitation to express, explore, experiment, and engage with different art-making prompts and materials.

We invite you to explore the weekly theme through art-making with many different materials on offer; collage, watercolors, soft pastels, oil pastels, paints and much more.

Unlike typical art-making spaces, we don’t instruct you on how to make art- we encourage you to find what feels right, without the pressure of it looking a certain way.

Each week we offer a prompt, which asks you to self-reflect in a supportive and empowering way. Maybe you are invited to reflect on your strengths, or the things that make you uniquely you. Sometimes you might be asked to focus on the parts of your life that needs a little more energy or support. Each prompt is offered to lift you up and get your weekend off to an empowering start!


You will find yourself in a group setting, chatting and connecting amongst other legends and chilled beats. The facilitator introduces you to Art Club and checks in on you throughout the session. They also facilitate the group dialogue at the end of the session. This is where we come together and share our artworks, what we’ve come to know about theme and ourselves. This supportive space is created by everyone within the group, and it is really lovely to share and listen.

Art club is a proudly inclusive space and welcomes all members of the community, regardless of artistic skill. We believe that everyone is an innate artist.

Words of Affirmation

'Arts, crafts, comfy cushions, giggles, cathartic cries, meditative music, need I say more?Discovering Art Club really was like stumbling upon a second home that I didn't know I needed. Having access to Art Club provides me opportunities to be introspective and work through experiences, feelings and perspectives of myself in a safe and validating environment. I feel eternally grateful for the connections and healing I have gained through Art Club.

Never underestimate the power of community'

-Hannah

Frequently asked questions

I'm not good at art, am I suited to attend Art Club?

The answer is always YES! Art is one of our natural languages (think back to being a kid!), you will find your expressive groove by the end of the session. Art Club is about playing and expression- not aesthetics!

Is Art Club a class?

Absolutely not. It’s a community space for expression and reflection. Each weeks prompt asks you to explore your inner and outer worlds in a safe and supportive environment. You may learn things about yourself and others, but it’s most definitely not a skill building class or workshop.

Is Art Club therapy?

No and a little yes. Art Club’s program is based in arts therapeutic approaches, however it is a reflective community space and is not suitable for therapeutic inquiry. We are all responsible for co-creating a safe space, and we ask individuals to be mindful of how they show up in community.
