About the project

Box Hill Community Arts Centre is inviting adults with a disability from multicultural backgrounds to take part in a fun, group art project.

Starting Monday 1 February 2027, 10 participants will work together with an experienced art facilitator to create artworks as part of a shared project and exhibition.

You don’t need any art or creative experience to join. This project is a chance to:

  • Learn new creative skills
  • Meet new people
  • Enjoy making art together

All sessions will be run in plain English.

This project is free. It is funded by the Inclusive Arts Grant from the National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA) and supported by Whitehorse City Council.

Places are limited. We will try to match activities to participants’ interests but may need to make group-based decisions to manage staff and venue needs.

NDIS funding is not required to take part.

Who can participate

Complete the form to register your interest in participating in the Inclusive Art Project at Box Hill Community Arts Centre. Expressions of Interest close on Monday 4 January 2027.


Due to very limited availability in the project, Box Hill Community Arts Centre staff will contact you to advise on the outcome by Wednesday 20 January 2027. We will endeavour to meet the interests of participants, however we may need to take a majority approach to manage staff and venue resources.
