Our declared values
All people are welcome to become part of art of care.
We have an ethos of sharing skills and learning within an inclusive supportive environment.
Creativity and the opportunity to participate in the visual arts is beneficial for the promotion of good health, wellbeing and positive lifestyles.
We are all artists, healers and learners and art and care is about ensuring we cultivate positive self-concepts, this is important for our empowerment as we work on developing positive thoughts about ourselves. We honour our relationships with each other.
We see everyone as having the creative potential that can be realised.
We see people and ourselves moving into wellness when individually and collectively we take responsibility for our own care.
We realise that we all need to receive encouragement, and can encourage others.
By bringing together art and care we recognise we can prevent illness and bring nourishment and meaning.
Pursuing your passion is vital for holistic health.
We think it is is not only important to look after ourselves but also to care for the planet and be environmentally responsible.
