‘My Voice’ Art club

The philosophy of this art program is phenomenological in nature; promoting the development of self-awareness. The art experience allows a creative response which is unique to the person participating.

Art provides a forum for memory and an opportunity to exercise the hands. Members enjoy the calmness of creativity, as the hand liaises for the brain, finding context in memory and offering periods of self-control. In addition, members enjoy the pleasure of friendship and a renewed sense of well-being.

Unfortunately this program has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
