What you'll learn

Join our over-55s art course and explore the world of creativity as part of our visual art short courses in Sydney!

Art Hive 55 is a welcoming weekly art space designed for people aged 55 and over who are seeking creativity, connection, and community. Rooted in the idea that everyone is an artist, this inclusive and informal course invites participants to enjoy the process of art making in a relaxed, friendly environment. No prior art experience needed. It's perfect for those who may not think they are creative or have never tried art before.

Each session combines gentle structure with plenty of freedom for self-directed exploration. This is not an art class, you will be encouraged to follow your own art-making interests with help along the way

Participants are guided through a simple process: a group welcome, a warm-up creative activity to spark connection, followed by unstructured art making using a range of materials. The session concludes with optional reflection and sharing.

Led by a skilled tutor, Art Hive 55 nurtures wellbeing through creative expression, conversation, and a sense of belonging. The course offers a space to build confidence, develop new interests, and enjoy the benefits of community-based creative practice.
