ARTernative provides a wide range of workshops, courses and training for individuals, communities and organisations.
Workshops are designed to help explore wellbeing under a new brighter and creative light. We use art materials to explore the “possibilities” around us and we use mindfulness to help us connect with those possibilities.
Art & Wellbeing Workshops or Courses for Communities

We deliver Art & Wellbeing workshop and courses in communities. We adapt our work to all age, gender, background and ability. No previous art experience required.
In our workshops, art is fun and an enjoyable experience. We remove the pressure of making something "perfect". We use visual art within a wellbeing approach. Each workshop starts with a short mindfulness exercise to help the group grounding themselves into the present moment.
