Art with Alejandro (ages 16-25)
- Sunday 19 April from 11am to 3:30pm
Pop in and out, or stay for the full session. It's up to you!
Join Wayde for a creative and uplifting tote bag painting session where you can choose your own theme Culture, Flowers, or Healing Creativity. A creative workshop for autistic, neurodivergent, disabled and CALD LGBTQIA+SB young people
Wayde is a proud Wiradjuri/Birpai man, also known as Aléjandro , a queer, Aboriginal artist and qualified art therapist dedicated to empowering others through creativity. His work is deeply influenced by his experiences as a gay person of colour in Australia, and he uses art to spotlight social issues, challenge perceptions, and celebrate cultural identity.
Each workshop offers a unique experience: connect with culture through meaningful symbols, explore the beauty of nature through vibrant blooms, or tap into art as a form of mindfulness and self-expression.
Walk away with a one-of-a-kind tote or canvas and a heart full of colour.
