Community Art Workshops
Annual Community Healing Art Workshops all inclusive, embracing the Multicultural Arts
Planetary Healing Artists’ mission is to provide a space where art becomes a powerful tool for healing, self-expression, and connection. By focusing on a new theme each year, we address different aspects of community well-being and encourage continuous personal and collective development. Our annual Community Art Workshops offer a dynamic and evolving space for personal and collective growth through artistic expression. Each year, we embrace a new theme that reflects current community needs and aspirations, guiding participants on a journey of healing and transformation. Our workshops revolve around a distinct healing theme, to embrace resilience, hope, and/or connection. These themes are chosen based on community feedback and current societal needs, ensuring relevance and resonance with the community participants.
We engage in a variety of artistic practices designed to facilitate emotional healing and self-discovery. Activities range from painting and sculpture to mixed media and digital art, providing diverse methods for expression and exploration.
Each workshop is led by experienced artists who offer guidance and support. These facilitators create a safe and nurturing environment, helping participants connect with their creative selves and explore their healing journey. Beyond individual healing, these workshops foster a sense of community and shared experience. Participants have the opportunity to connect with others, share their stories, and build supportive networks.
At the end of each workshop series, we host an art exhibition where participants can display their work and reflect on their personal growth. This event celebrates the collective progress and allows for deeper community engagement.
Be part of this enriching experience at St Kilda Library this year on August 10 & 24. Discover the transformative power of art, connect with others on similar journeys, and contribute to a stronger, more resilient community.
