Made @ The Place - FREE Youth Art Workshops

Enabling Creativity & Connection for Young People

The first workshop series of our new art program ‘Made @ The Place’ almost over, we have been able to glimpse into the future of what is to come from our young local artists—and it is absolutely incredible!


The artworks that have been produced from our art sessions are phenomenal. The first workshop series has focused on explorations into colour theory, forays into expressing individual personality and identity through the use of pastels, paint, and line theory. Our group of budding young artists can only be described as imaginative individuals, each clearly expressing who they are through a variety of mediums. The dedication the group showed was truly inspiring and we can’t wait for our next chapter of ‘Made @ The Place’!


With spots filling up quickly, make sure to reserve yourself a seat at our next FREE art workshop series, which will run from the 7th of June to the 28th of June, weekly on Wednesdays. In these sessions Natalie Anderson from Eleebana Art Studio will be focusing on utilising anything from scrap fabrics, reclaimed wood and ordinary household items and turning them into amazing works of art!


The workshop series is suitable for young people between the ages of 12 - 24 who have an interest and passion for all things art related. The program is also able to accommodate participants who need to attend with a support worker. We also have food and drinks every week and are able to accommodate to most allergies and intolerances so you can stay busy creating incredible artworks on a full stomach!

The Place is proud to be the first community organisation in NSW to take part in the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program, supporting more people in our community to get connected and build confidence online. Through the program, we helped allocate 30 refurbished laptops to local people in our community, including seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants receive 12 months of free data, digital skills training and IT Support to help them make the most of their device. Delivered by NSW Telco Authority in partnership with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia, the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program is part of the NSW Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy. The program helps bridge the digital divide by giving people access to the essential technology, connectivity and support needed in today’s digital world. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our local community and want to thank everyone who made it possible.
