Pablos Art Studio is a creative and focused environment, providing free access to materials, tuition and professional development.   It is facilitated by tutors who are professionally qualified, practicing artists, with a wide range of art related experience.

How does working in the studio benefit people?

Research shows that by developing an art practice at Pablos, people:

• grow in confidence and self-esteem

• develop through mentoring, role modelling, and teaching

• develop good work routines in order to tackle creative challenges

• use creativity as a tool to support and maintain their mental health

• feel part of the broader art community by visiting exhibitions and other art focused organisations.

Who comes to Pablos?

People come to Pablos with a wide range of artistic experience.  Most artists are referred through community mental health teams or other medical practitioners, but we also welcome people who self-refer.

Access to the studio, the art materials and the tutor support is free.  Artists at Pablos generally work independently towards their own creative goal plans, and balance their independent work by participating in organised group workshops.
