From The Heart is an exhibition which showcases a range of member’s artworks created at The Ōwairaka Community Club. The works are for sale with all the proceeds going to the artists. The exhibition takes place during Mental Health Awareness Week; the theme for this year is Community is… what we create together.
The Ōwairaka Community Club provides a non-clinical, creative space for adults with lived experience of mental health issues. It is a safe and inclusive space where members are encouraged to explore their own creativity, as a way to help maintain and enhance their well-being. This space also provides a sense of community by encouraging meaningful social connection amongst members and kaimahi.
Ōwairaka Community Club operates in the back rooms of the Mt Albert Methodist Church at 831 New North Road but access is from Alexis Avenue.
