Art for All

Painting and Creativity Workshops in the Community

Art for All painting and creativity workshops are flexible tailor-made art packages designed and adapted to suit all sectors of the community.

Isa Levy set up Art for All workshops following  research in her community.  She found that many vital areas of creative expression have suffered financial cut-backs.  Also the impact of busy life-styles and materialistic goals can deplete the emotional and expressive centre that resides in the heart of each one of us - and reaches far beyond the language of intellect, intelligence and words.

Transforming-Wall-of-Negativity

 Although Isa Levy has been involved with creative expression all her life as an actress/singer/writer/musician, she  showed no aptitude for art in the classroom, herself. 

In her early 40's, she found it  an awesome and welcome miracle to find herself the painter of some 400 paintings.

As a late starter in the field of the visual arts, she feels that individual creative expression is a very powerful field of energy, (often untapped), in every one of us, whether we are old or young, rich or poor, sick or well. 

Art for All workshops are primarily safe places to explore with colour, joy, paint, music, meditation, rhythm and verbal sharing, the depth of expression within oneself. 

  They use paint, collage, drawing, wire mesh, clay and pastels.

  The workshops are non-judgemental, non-interpretive and non-analytical.  They lean on fun, spontaneity, connection, communication and the wonderful world of self-discovery.  They look into creative blocks, inhibitions and creative isolation.
