'The HEART Project' - Healing with Art

Two local artists have been collaborating for the last three months, planning some artistic relief for all those affected in anyway by the recent bushfires. Angela Gerrard and Lyn Heenan have developed a variety of creative workshops to bring the community together, have some fun, learn some art and form new friendships.

Angela Gerrard has been an artist for the past 20 years, running weekly art classes and weekend workshops in her Beaufort Studio for the past 7 years. Her family has lifetimes of volunteering with the local CFA, Angela knows too well the lasting impact of bushfires. “From both my own experience, and training in Art Therapy, I realise the healing powers of creative outlets and hope the coming workshop program will help our community make new connections, skills and relief.”

Lyn, an artist herself currently has the role of Landcare Facilitator for the Upper Mount Emu Creek Landcare Network. Lyn commented, “I saw many friends and community grappling to understand and process the fire. Nature and Art can be so hopeful. We are all looking for connection post covid, floods and now fire. I saw an opportunity for expression, I hope the art workshops bring us together no matter our skill level with some fun and creativity”.

The first of four art workshops will be held Saturday 17th August from 1.00 to 4.00 in the Beaufort Town Hall. Support for this project has been given by the Bendigo Bank, the Beaufort Service Group and is auspiced by the Beaufort Progress Association. Already the Beaufort Mens Shed are busy building … find out what on 17th August! Due to these generous donations there is no cost to attend and no previous experience required.

For any questions, phone Lyn on 0407801932 or Angela on 0439565468 or email info@theheartproject.org.au
