ArtLife Workshops

Are you an artist with a disability or are interested in arts and creativity?

ArtLife is a program for people with disability who have an interest in art and creativity, as well as for emerging and established artists. Through ArtLife, we facilitate opportunities for people with disability to work towards individual artistic goals, across a range of chosen art forms and art practices.

ArtLife Workshops
If you are interested in developing artistic skills alongside other artists, then ArtLife Workshops are for you! These term-based workshops are facilitated by an Artistic Facilitator, who leads the workshop, and an Engagement Worker, who provides support by removing barriers to participation as much as possible.

In the workshops, you will be supported to find your artistic style and voice, and make decisions around what you would like to make art about. You will develop individual goals which are built into the planning of the term. The workshops involve collective planning sessions during the first two weeks of term and an evaluation discussion during the last week of term. This supports you to provide input into the direction and structure of how the workshops are run.

Workshop artforms include:

Drawing and painting workshops
Screen/digital arts
Dance and performance
Mixed media art making and 3D sculpture

Who is it for?
You will need to be known to have or identify with having a disability and be 18 years old or over.
