Pelican Arts is a creative practice based in Mildura that sits at the intersection of art, wellbeing, and reflective making.
It offers both therapeutic work and non-therapeutic creative experiences, creating space for people to engage with art in ways that suit their needs - whether that is personal support, emotional exploration, skill development, or simply time to slow down and create.
The therapeutic work at Pelican Arts is grounded in art therapy and mental health social work, supporting people to explore thoughts, emotions, relationships, and lived experience through creative process. This work is gentle, collaborative, and tailored to individual goals, using art as a way of exploring what can be difficult to put into words.
Alongside this, Pelican Arts also offers reflective art workshops and creative sessions for the broader community. These are not therapy groups, but calm, structured spaces for making, noticing, and experimenting with materials such as drawing, watercolour, and mixed media. They are designed for people who are drawn to creativity, regardless of experience, and who want to engage in slow, process-focused making.
Across both areas of practice, the focus remains the same: attention, curiosity, and presence. Whether in a one-to-one therapeutic session or a small group workshop, Pelican Arts invites people to reconnect with materials, with perception, and with their own creative rhythm.
Pelican Arts also provides art therapy, and social work counselling for individuals, please see our website for more information.
