The session is facilitated by a respected Aboriginal artist with both lived experience and cultural knowledge. They guide the session and share their personal story and insights.
Discover the power of storytelling through paint in our Introduction to Aboriginal Art workshop – a meaningful and creative journey guided by culture, tradition, and personal expression. In this relaxed, hands-on experience, your team will step into the rich world of contemporary Aboriginal art and explore the deeper significance behind the symbols, stories and styles. Aboriginal art is more than dots – it’s a visual language that shares journeys, Country, culture, and identity. Led by a respected Aboriginal artist, this 2-hour session blends cultural education with creative exploration. Participants will learn about the evolution of Aboriginal art – from ancient storytelling practices to the modern-day use of acrylics, ochres and canvas. The facilitator will also share their personal story and artistic journey, offering unique insight into how art can be both a voice and a vocation. Teams will discover commonly used symbols and their meanings, and explore how these connect to storytelling and a connection to Country. Then, it’s time to put paint to canvas. Each participant will create their own artwork – a personal story inspired by everything they’ve learned. This experience is about connection, not perfection – no artistic experience is necessary. The workshop finishes with a Q&A, providing a respectful space for participants to ask questions, reflect, and engage in meaningful dialogue about Aboriginal art, culture and its place in contemporary Australia.

Trivia Evening, Stretching Guy and Team Masterpiece Class. Each event was excellent and worked well for our overall conference theme and ‘feel’.
