“I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.”
– Georgia O’Keefe
This quote speaks powerfully to the experience of many adults with additional support needs. Art offers a unique and meaningful way to express thoughts, emotions, and ideas that can be difficult to put into words. Through painting, drawing, or other creative activities, individuals can communicate their inner world in a way that feels safe, personal, and empowering. At Opeka, we believe in the transformative power of artistic expression. Our sessions are not about being perfect or getting it right – they are about being heard, being seen, and being understood. Creativity becomes a language that everyone can share, in their own way.
Art classes that develop more than your art skills
Our art sessions take place every Friday from 1pm to 2pm at the Carswell Centre in Eaglesham and offer a safe, creative space for adults with additional support needs. Each week, we explore a different topic chosen by the group, allowing participants to guide the direction of the session and express themselves in ways that feel meaningful to them. From painting and drawing to mixed media and crafts, the activities are tailored to suit a range of interests and abilities.
We place a strong emphasis on creating a welcoming and relaxed environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Our experienced art therapists play a key role in this, bringing not only their creative expertise but also a deep understanding of individual needs. Through art, participants are encouraged to build confidence, develop new skills, and enjoy the process of creating in a space that celebrates self-expression and personal growth.
Join in the fun!
At Opeka, every day is a chance to try something new, discover hidden talents, and build confidence in a welcoming and supportive space.
Whether it’s through creative expression, hands-on activities, or simply joining in, we believe in the power of participation to spark joy and personal growth. You don’t need experience—just an open mind and a willingness to give it a go.
More than just activities, Opeka is a place where friendships are formed, laughter is shared, and everyone is encouraged to be themselves. It’s about growing together, learning from each other, and celebrating every step forward. Whatever your interests or abilities, you’ll find something here that inspires you.
