Event Details

Explore Indigenous painting, storytelling, and connection to Country.

Join us this NAIDOC Week for a meaningful and creative experience that invites you to slow down, connect, and create.

Guided by Aboriginal artist Lisa Buxton, this special art workshop offers a gentle and welcoming space to explore Indigenous painting, storytelling, and connection to Country. Through a blend of creative practice and shared reflection, you’ll be introduced to the rich symbolism and stories that are central to Aboriginal culture. As you paint, you’ll be encouraged to interpret these ideas in your own way – expressing your connection to nature, story, and place.

No prior experience is needed, just an open mind and a willingness to engage. Suitable for ages 10 and above and scheduled during the school holidays, this workshop is a meaningful opportunity for individuals, families, and community members to gather in a shared space of creativity, learning, and reflection.

Morning tea will be provided. We aim to cater for a range of dietary needs – you’ll be prompted to share your dietary requirements when booking the event.
