Art with Alejandro (ages 16-25)

Tote Bag Painting Workshop

Join Wayde for a creative and uplifting tote bag painting session where you can choose your own theme Culture, Flowers, or Healing Creativity.

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.
