June 2016 Recipients
Māpura Studios, governed by the Panacea Arts Charitable Trust is a creative space offering visual arts and art therapy programmes and a positive supportive community for people living with diversity and disability.
They received $1,979 to purchase quality art materials for their weekly art classes, and frames for their exhibition So Much There Is, which will not only showcase the rich diversity of Māpura Studios but their unity through creativity and human experience.
The art classes promote and encourage the self-development and well-being of the artists through the vehicle of creative expression, whilst the exhibitions give the artists a chance to showcase their work and engage the wider community in public discussions about disability and inclusion.
