Join Come As You Art for a welcoming art therapy workshop at Little BIG House (Summer Hill), facilitated by trauma-informed Art Therapist Emma Fitzgerald.

These workshops will run monthly on the third week of each month throughout the year, creating a gentle, consistent space where people can connect, create, and simply exist - exploring and expressing whatever feels present in a supportive environment. Tickets will be offered at an accessible rate to help keep the space open to the community.

Each session includes:

• A short introduction to art therapy and group check-in
• One hour or more of open, process-based artmaking using diverse materials
• Optional sharing and reflection time
• Light refreshments provided

Arrival & Timing

Please arrive from 5:45pm onwards to allow time to settle in.

To help maintain a safe, contained and confidential therapeutic environment, doors will close at 6:15pm sharp and no entries will be permitted after this time.

Arriving on time is essential, as late arrivals can disrupt the group process and sense of safety for participants. Thank you for your understanding and care for the space.

Access to the Venue

We will be entering via the wheelchair access side of the building at Little BIG House. However, the workshop space is located on the first floor, which requires taking a set of stairs to reach the room.

Due to other events occurring in the building at the same time, we are unable to relocate to a ground-floor space. As the building is heritage-listed, a lift has not been able to be installed. Unfortunately, this means wheelchair access to the workshop space is not possible at this time.

We understand this may be limiting and truly appreciate your understanding. Please keep this in mind when registering, and feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss any access questions.

Consent

Participants will be asked to sign a brief consent form before the start of each workshop as they enter the space.

Suitable for adults (18+) - all are welcome.
Please advise of any access or sensory needs during registration.

We hope this can become a calm monthly ritual - a place to pause, explore creativity, and feel part of a gentle shared experience.
