Creating Meaning
✰ Opening Event ✰
Sunday, 4 January
2:00pm to 4.00pm
An exhibition by Richmind and other artists, to promote the benefits of art for all our mental health and raise funds for Richmind WA’s Mental Health Services Art Therapy Program, “HeART & Soul”.

Curated by Richmind’s Principal Artist in Residence and “Creative Therapies Coordinator David Giles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The HeART & Soul art project began as a simple distraction activity created to support people through the Christmas period, a sometimes difficult and isolating time of year. The obvious benefits of meeting in a safe friendly supportive positive and encouraging space to create art, led to the program becoming ongoing and a new focus of Richmind’s recovery approach and brand.

This exhibition celebrates the numerous and profound benefits art can have on our mental health and the amazing diversity of ways people can express themselves creatively to support their wellbeing. The brief for the artists was “What brings meaning to my life?”

This event is FREE and proudly sponsored by the City of Armadale. This program runs weekly in the school term.
Singing Mamas is a worldwide grassroots movement designed to bring women together through the simple joy of singing. Founded to support women’s wellbeing, Singing Mamas creates a space where everyone is welcome — no auditions, no sheet music, and no musical experience required. Songs are taught by ear in an inclusive circle, making it easy for anyone to join in.
The benefits go far beyond singing: research shows group singing can reduce stress, lift mood, and strengthen connection with others. Babies and children are always welcome, so mums don’t need to worry about childcare.
In Perth, Singing Mamas is led by Nicole George, who runs groups in Armadale, Wellard and Gosnells. Each session blends singing with time for tea, coffee, and conversation, offering both joy and community. Women of all ages and life stages are invited to come along — whether you sing loudly, softly, or simply listen — and experience the warmth and connection of Singing Mamas.
