Brimbank carers will have the chance to get creative in the outdoors with an upcoming Wilderness Art Studio program.
On Wednesday, March 6, carers from across Brimbank will be picked up from the Keilor Downs Community Centre at 9am and will be dropped back off at 2.30pm.
Event runners Out Doors Inc. are working in collaboration with Brimbank Carers Support Network, giving carers a great opportunity to learn and practice different art mediums while immersing themselves in the natural environment.
Community support officer Carolyn Richardson said the event is an important landmark to give back to carers for their hard work.
“The Wilderness Art Studio event, presents a valuable respite opportunity for Brimbank Carers, it supports carers to build purposeful connections with other carers and provides them with an opportunity to explore their own interests and develop new skills in a relaxed, nature based setting,” she said.
The program will cater to individuals of any artistic ability, with lots of different modes of art including watercolours and pastels.
Out Doors Inc. is a community organisation based in St Albans, seeking to assist people ‘out of the door’ and connect them to outdoor activities with like-minded people for better mental health.
Registered Brimbank council carers are eligible to take part in this event, please direct any interest to communitysupport@brimbank.vic.gov.au
