ARTY PARTY is an art focused social event with the aim of providing a welcoming, inclusive environment where you can relax, socialise, eat together and get creative with no expectation placed on the end product. We approach these workshops with the mindset that art is a representation of your perception. There is no right or wrong. Our Portraits Workshop is co-facilitated by local Creative Savanah and featured Artist Tori-Jay. It is a beginners friendly, guided portraiture session that explores capturing an individual’s face while in the moment. 
In addition to participants exploring their creativity we also place focus on facilitating social connection, achieved through social interaction/ communication activities and eye-gazing meditation to break down barriers. Our ARTY PARTY Portrait workshop is designed to be a fun evening that enables participants to connect with one another through portraiture and allow themselves to get lost in the moments of modelling and drawing. Dinner (dietary requirements catered to), facilitation and all equipment is provided.
