Testimonials

Arts for Health is a Hamilton creative art space and is somewhere I can go and paint when I don’t have the motivation to manage that in my own house. It helps me leave the house knowing I have somewhere I will feel safe where I am part of a community that supports each other.

Emma Billingham

Arts for health provides great support to the community. As a new artist I find that there is a sense of belonging, ownership and acceptance that makes me feel calm, satisfied and motivated.

Kim McEvilly

I felt art therapy was a great way to express my feelings about life in general and helped me to stay healthy. I enjoy the Hamilton art classes and am currently learning to paint in acrylics.

Phillip Longley

Testimonials

I highly recommend the art therapy class at Arts for Health in Hamilton. I attended weekly sessions for six weeks and saw big changes in how I felt. I understand my emotions and how they affect my body much better now. I've gained confidence and feel more in control of myself and my decisions. Art therapy was a great way to explore my creativity and connect with my emotions.

Jennifer H

I like coming to Arts for Health as it helps me to get to know new people in the community. Since I started coming to art last year, I have felt more confident and happy. I come to art because I like coming into the community for health and wellbeing.

Lisa Tawhai

It has helped me get back into drawing and learning to paint. It’s allowed me to meet new people all of whom are very helpful and supportive. It’s helped me feel more creative and grow more confidence in my artistic abilities.
