Sunroom
First Wednesday, every month
Sunroom
SUNROOM is about providing a safe creative space for art making creative play and exploration for adults who identify with disability.
We believe in the social model of disability - that is, disability is the result of the interaction between people living with impairments and an environment filled with physical, attitudinal, communication and social barriers. (Sourced from PWD)
No prior art making experience is necessary, only a willingness to engage your imagination, curiosity and sense of play.
#Guidelines for participation
- We intend to provide a safe creative space for all participants.
- Sunroom is a disability-led program.
- No prior training or knowledge of art making is necessary.

#FAQ’s

Is there an age limit?
Yes. This program is recommended for ages 18+.
What kind of art making activities will be on offer?

Do I need to bring anything?
All art making materials will be provided. If you have your own journal or materials that you prefer to work with, please bring it along on the day.
Do I have to attend every workshop? Or can I attend just one?
You can attend as many workshops as you like. But you will need to book in for each workshop date. There are limited places, so we recommend booking in to avoid disappointment. We will have a waitlist available if the workshop books out.
Is there a break?
We will have a short break during the workshop. Participants can come and go from the workshop space as they need to during the workshop time. If you need a bathroom break, get some fresh air, alone time, we encourage you to move in and out of the space as you need.
Do you have Auslan Interpreters for the workshops?
We would be more than happy to organise Auslan interpretation. We will need two weeks' notice to organise.
