Hampton Park Uniting Church hosted a free arts workshop on Saturday 22 February, in the lead-up to its big exhibition in March.

Facilitator Lyn Mcbain said they put in cultural workshops prior to the arts exhibition Art, Culture, and Diversity, so people could be taught. Facilitators were present on scene to engage the participants with arts.

“We had four different cultures come in,” she said.

“It was very successful. We had about 50 people. We were completely booked out.

“Some of those facilitators have been invited to feature their art, so they can put up to about six pieces of their own art and be featured artists.

“We’ve not done that before, so that’s something different. Every year we try and do something different.”
