A4A is an innovative learning initiative led by visual artist and arts facilitator Anna Stevens. The motto? Art 4 All! Our goal is to connect communities through creative practice. These social and experimental workshops invite EVERYONE to explore self-expression through a wide range of mediums. Each session strikes a perfect balance between guided instruction and creative freedom, all while emphasizing the joy of play. I try to avoid the cliché of “bringing out your child,” but, “Hello there, kiddo!"
The belief that “I am just not a creative person” is simply untrue—creativity exists in everyone. These inclusive sessions cater to all skill levels and interests, featuring practical demonstrations, personalized guidance and plenty of room to explore. Participants will create unique pieces to take home, with the facilities for printmaking, drawing, clay sculpting, painting, and collage all provided in every session. Each workshop introduces an exciting new technique to warm up. The key aim is to for both creative and social well-being in a nurturing and inclusive environment. This is a pay-what-you-can scheme for all ages, as we believe in levelling the playing field and providing access to the arts for all.
Art4All is taking a break over the summer to develop even better practices, review budgets, refine techniques and ensure we can reach as many of you as possible! We will return in October 2025.
