The award-winning art’sKool provides art classes with a difference.
The community focused arts hub runs regular sessions for younger and older children, adults, and those with disabilities and their carers.
Regardless of your age or artistic ability, art’sKool has a program for you.
Each Sunday, art’sKool runs classes for children and adults of all abilities.
Also on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9.30am-12pm, the school holds sessions for adult beginners and carers of those with disabilities who need a break. This includes teens who care for their parents.
Disability funding is available for these sessions, which are designed to be therapeutic.
Artist and art’sKool founder, Kaz McGlynn, says art activities are beneficial for those with disabilities and their carers.
“Art is fun and it is used to improve cognitive and sensory, motor function, and to foster self-esteem and awareness,” she explained.
“It also cultivates emotional resilience, reduces conflict and distress, and enhances social skills.
“When people take the risk of building art with others it builds community which is therapeutic.”
Bookings for all art’sKool classes are now open for Term 4.
The studio is also taking bookings for its school holiday art program, Holiday Club, which consists of vibrant art workshops designed to inspire the creativity of kids aged 5-14 years.
The holiday program runs from 1-3 October, with session times of 9.30am-12pm and 12.30pm-3.30pm. You can book as many sessions as you like.
art’Skool is located at 1/20 Everist Road, Ocean Grove.
