Upbeat Arts delivers tailored creative arts programs, where our professional leaders work with marginalised communities, promoting social inclusion, positive mental health and overall wellbeing.

Everyone has a voice! The arts can be used to enhance self-awareness, self-expression and communication skills and improve mood and self-esteem.

Our programs offer an opportunity to learn new things and make positive changes in your life, by providing a positive distraction from issues in life that may be causing anxiety or depression.
