Neami aims to promote health, wellbeing, choice and participation in community life for people with a mental health issue through the arts.
Victoria
A designated arts based program at Neami Splash Art Studio offers workshops in a range of media including painting, drawing, mosaic, print making and sculpture. The program aims to promote a safe, supportive, creative environment where people can learn, develop skills, explore, make choices and take risks.
The program also facilitates a range of community arts projects and exhibitions. There is a Koori arts program that runs in conjunction with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service.
