What We Do

Kookaburra Art Studio offers inclusive art classes tailored for people with disabilities. In a calm, safe, and welcoming environment, our participants explore both traditional and modern art techniques. Led by a professional facilitator, our studio is equipped with high-quality materials designed to support creative growth and self-expression.

Our program empowers artists to develop their skills, gain confidence, and see the world through a new lens. Each class is structured around individual needs and goals to ensure every participant gets the most from their experience.

We actively promote community inclusion. Our artists are encouraged to participate in local markets, exhibitions, and art competitions throughout Southeast Queensland. We also collaborate with art galleries to showcase work in both group and solo exhibitions—opening doors to new opportunities and recognition.
