Garage Art Group

The Garage Art Group is open to all members of the public and its primary purpose is on the benefits of Art to Health.

Professional tutors run groups for clients who are recovering from mental health problems and clients who have learning difficulties and /or special needs.

The Garage Art group is a self - funding charity and relies on the generosity of the general public and grants to enable our work to continue. Any help is much appreciated!!

One of our major aims is to enhance the confidence of students through a sense of achievement. The art is used as a vehicle for development of life skills and coping strategies of the students.

We aim to break down social barriers and stigmas attached to the core client group. Through social interaction we aim to develop group skills via support for each other working in a cooperative manner.




The Garage Art Group has now built up an excellent reputation and have referrals from the Community Mental Health Team, Social Services, Onside Advocacy/Life Links and Occupational therapists.
