Visual art
At a rough estimate, nearly 3 million people paint or draw in Australia, and another 3 million people play with ceramics.
People make art informally because it gives them pleasure, they learn from it, it satisfies their need to communicate, tell stories, create beauty, or because they want to make something with friends and neighbors. They know the arts have value and are a good thing in their lives. They deepen their connections to each other. They deepen their understanding of themselves and the world. They remind them of why it is good to be alive.
Informal artists are among the most loyal and knowledgable members of the broader arts audience.
Wamboin's informal artists are also downright creative. Take a look....and if you have some art to share, email us.
