CONVERSATIONS THROUGH ART

Painting workshop

ABOUT WORKSHOP

Step into art and conversation in our intimate Conversations through Art painting workshop.

Join us to learn about Arrernte culture, share perspectives, ignite your creativity, and leave with not just a piece of art, but a cherished memory woven with your own personal narrative.

​

We offer workshops for individuals (minimum of 5), schools and businesses/organisations looking for a unique cultural or bonding activity for their staff. 

​

What to expect from the workshop:

​

A three hour workshop facilitated by local Arrernte artists, Amunda and Myra Gorey, our workshops aim to create a safe space for meaningful two-way conversations. We share our experiences of growing up in remote Central Australia, aspects of Arrernte culture including relationships and language, and explain how we translate these stories into our art.

Without a set agenda, our workshops unfold through organic conversations and sharing of stories while we paint. Each workshop is a unique experience, with the exploration going wherever the conversation takes us. Topics of conversation can be tailored to your group.

As you paint your own story alongside us, you'll find yourself immersed in an exchange of stories and perspectives that enrich both heart and canvas.
