HEARTME COLLECTIVE..... Neurodivergent Children's Art Workshops

This specialised HEARTME Collective workshop is designed for neurodivergent children who thrive in quieter, low‑stimulation environments. Created by Western Australian artist Erica Allia, HEARTME invites young artists to explore creativity, connection and self‑expression through its signature heart‑inspired art, with thoughtful adjustments to ensure comfort and accessibility.

Led by educators Katie Hodgekin and Rebecca Hamer, with artist Erica Allia in attendance, each session provides a gentle, supportive space where children can create at their own pace, with flexibility for individual learning needs.
