A friendly space for disabled people to connect, create and belong.
Service Description
The Canberra Disability Art Group is an in-person, art group specifically for people with disabilities. Bring your art project and enjoy a morning of creative community. Meet new people, express you inner artist and have fun while doing it! Don't have a project? Not a problem! There will always be an activity prepared with supplies provided. In addition, there will always be colouring sheets, markers, drawing supplies and basic painting supplies available. You are welcome to bring your own art supplies too. The group is peer-led, and there is no "teaching" done. It's a relaxed and low pressure way to practice your art and to foster community. When you join, you can also join the Facebook group where you can continue conversing with your newly made friends :) NOTE: you may be able to use NDIS funding to pay for this group.
