You are invited to participate in a mutual artistic collaboration in support of the flood victims. Please make a drawing or painting of the inner experience YOU had viewing the news or the videos of the disasters. We are aware that the emotional expression by way of drawings or paintings is very therapeutic for all.

The art expressions submitted to us will be shared with the Australian public by way of the internet in order to unite with everybody and feel this enormous tragedy and be part of the healing process.

Those of you who will submit your art piece will do so without any finacial renumeration and agree to have your work made public. The Gestalt Art Therapy Centre directors can freely decide what will be the most appropriate manner to express this support to the Australian community.
