SupPort Macquarie

One of our beautiful participants is selling their artwork during the Artwalk Port Macquarie.

A massive shout out to Bianca and the gang at The Witchy Nook for stocking this limited line of T-Shirts, and for their incredible guidance and inclusion of all our participants. Please pop in to see them today as they are open till 8:00pm 🧙‍♀️

We also appreciate the time and dedication given by BlackDog Ink , leading our participant through the whole process from sketch, to computer, to screen, to print. And the T-shirt’s are top quality 🐾 👌

We are very proud of what this participant has achieved working with our qualified art teacher. Not just for what they have overcome…but to see them actually producing something that others will wear with pride in support of the neurodivergent community of Port Macquarie 💪
