Write your own story here. Our deeply thoughtful, 39-week Acrylic Art Program goes beyond the realm of traditional art classes, beautifully blending creative expression with mental well-being.

​

Across term time, our 3-hour weekly sessions offer 15 participants a unique opportunity to explore their artistic potential with acrylic paints while engaging in a therapeutic activity that combats social anxiety and isolation.

​

The immersive, mindful process of painting serves its purpose beyond creating art.

​

It acts as a restorative escape, an effective tool for individuals dealing with social anxiety.

​

Exploring colours, experimenting with brush strokes, and giving shape to thoughts can become a focus-intensive, soothing process that grounds individuals in the present, alleviating stress and anxiety.

​

Moreover, our program addresses social isolation, creating a warm, inclusive artistic community.

​

Our participants, regardless of age or previous experience, become part of a supportive network.

​

 This shared learning and mutually encouraging environment fosters a sense of belonging, enabling meaningful connections and aiding in overcoming feelings of social seclusion.

​

The act of painting encourages individual expression, while the weekly convened sessions foster interpersonal connections.

​

During these painting sessions, we also provide light refreshments, allowing for more relaxed social interactions among our students, humanising the environment even more, and creating stress-free, social bonding opportunities.

​
