FREE Drawing Workshop for Seniors Festival

Celebrate Together and Let Your Creativity Flow!

Date: Wednesday 22nd February

Time: 12:00pm - 2:00pm

Cost: FREE

We would like to invite you to celebrate NSW Seniors Festival with us at our FREE drawing workshop!

This year’s Seniors Festival theme is 'Celebrate together', so let’s get together to reconnect and have some fun!

Our drawing workshop will be led by talented local artist Aksara Harriram, and will be inspired by nature. You will learn how to draw motifs from the beautiful nature that surrounds us and get to go home with your very own artwork.

This event is for seniors and all levels of ability are welcome. You don't need any prior experience, all you need to do is bring yourself, have some fun and let your creativity flow! All equipment plus snacks and refreshments will also be provided.

Bookings are essential, as spaces are limited. To book your spot, please call us on (02) 4032 5500, or email us at: programs@theplacecharlestown.org.au

This event is supported by the NSW Government for NSW Seniors Festival
