Lets make a community arts project
Community projects are a fantastic way for people to come together. To imagine, build, create and celebrate.
Some of the many reasons for holding a community arts project are:
- People can tell stories through many different art mediums
- New skills can be learnt
- Skills can be transferred from one person to another
- New friendships can be made
- Gives participants sense of ownership and achievement
Sean Manners has facilitated many different community projects. From building Pizza ovens to co-ordinating parades. Building interactive large puppets for special occasions such as Australia Day to mosaics for Neighbourhood Houses. Teaching how to create colourful banners that tell a story to literacy projects.
Why create a community arts project?
Arts, health and wellbeing have proven to be good partners. Engagement in creative activities as part of a community can do the following:
- Stimulates well being,
- Sense of belonging
- Quiet achievement
- Support and encouragement of others
- Skills transfer to the community and between the community
- Safe environment to explore creativity
- Gives community ownership to a project
- Tells a story
