The ART Collective Project

Eight artists from diverse cultural backgrounds living in Auckland are working together to teach a wide range of original practices in open art spaces that offer opportunities of self-development in one’s individual art practice. As a collective that teaches various modalities of art, we help participants to use different materials to produce artwork that is relevant to them. Even if students don’t think of themselves as creative, we want to create an environment that encourages them to have fun and be playful in their art.

The ART Collective Project offers you the opportunity to uncover and develop your  artistic creative talents for beginners and emerging artists. With assistance from our collective creative artists, you will be inspired and gently guided into using the mediums of palette knife painting, watercolour, acrylic, life drawing, print making, collage, creative ink art, and sewn textile fibre art. As with all creative processes it offers a therapeutic environment to be nourished by.  No experience is necessary, just a desire to create!

Our students/participants are always encouraged to explore and express the wonderment of ART through wide range of mediums. Through discovery and play one uncovers personal jewels that lay beneath the surface.

ART Collective Project presents a new series of art classes in 2025

Outside the Box – FREE FLOW offers outside the box creative play-flowing experiences for individuals to find the artist within, capturing moments in time, in safe unique art spaces that allow our creative genius to unwind, to let go, engage with a subject in nature, sit by the sea shore to capture the sunrise, paint garden flowers, and forest trees and reconnect with the authentic ME.

Being in FREE FLOW means opening the senses, stimulating, visualising, feeling, touching, listening and tuning into the moment. The ART Collective Project artists are offering different mediums at different locations throughout Auckland communities from May through December. Let’s ride the waves of creative expression together.
