Art4Me

Art4Me fosters mental, emotional and social wellbeing, offering a space where everyone can experience the transformative power of the arts. We are open to all adults, welcoming a diverse mix of individuals - newcomers, retirees, those needing extra support and job seekers.

Our weekly programmes include exhibitions, workshops and partnerships, emphasising not just art but the social connections and belonging that come from creating together in a safe, inclusive and fun environment. We offer different types of sessions, including Supported Art4Me, Quiet Art4Me and Print Art4Me. We also run one-off workshops and activities like ceramics, printmaking, slow stitch and te reo Māori sessions.
