Made @ The Place

Free July Workshops Enrolling Now

The next round of 'Made @ The Place' is based on Watercolour Landscapes with local artist, Alarna Lerch.


The FREE program will be running from 26th July to 16th August.  The first lesson will consist of familiarising ourselves with the different types of brushes we will be using. Later, the class will be sharing ideas on places that they feel connected to and would like to paint and replicate!


All materials and resources are provided as well as light meals and refreshments for participants. Support workers are welcome to attend.


If you would like to reserve a spot in our youth art program or know someone who would be interested, register by calling us on (02) 4032 5500, emailing Gabrielle at youthprograms@theplacecharlestown.org.au or clicking here to fill out the enrolment form - limited spots available so get your registrations in quick!


The workshops are based at The Place: Charlestown Community Centre located at Charlestown Square which is easily accessed via Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.


This program is proudly funded by the NSW Government.

This Neighbourhood Centre Week, we pay homage to the remarkable strength that emerges when diverse individuals come together for a shared purpose. Helen Keller's timeless words, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much," resonate deeply as we reflect on the power of unity and community. In communities across Australia, Neighbourhood and Community Houses and Centres (NCHCs) stand as the beating heart of local neighbourhoods. At these centres like ours, we strive to embody the essence of togetherness, bringing people from all walks of life together to connect, learn, and play. Through collaborative initiatives, inclusive programs, and shared spaces, we cultivate an environment where every voice is heard, every story is valued, and every member contributes to the vibrant mosaic of our shared community. To celebrate the value of our local community, join us for a warm cuppa and lively conversations at The Place on 14th May, from 10 am – 12 pm. Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the area, there's a place for you here! Discover the variety of programs and activities at The Place tailored to enrich every aspect of your life, from health and wellness initiatives to educational workshops and social gatherings. Come and experience The Place where people meet, connect, belong, and grow. Neighbourhood Centre Week is a time to celebrate the bonds that unite us and the spaces that nurture them. So, come on over, grab a cuppa, and let's build a stronger, more connected community together! Free light morning tea will be provided. To book your spot, please call us on 02 4032 5500, or email us at programsassistant@theplacecharlestown.org.au
