The Secret Life of Collage Club

-

Collage Club is an ongoing community engagement and creative recovery program produced in response to the 2022 floods with Creative First Aid and the Lismore Quadrangle.

Collage Club has been running for 18 months with monthly guest artists who share a skill or concept with participants. This free, accessible program enables the community to get together and enjoy making collages in a supportive environment.  In 2022, Collage Club received the IMAGinE Award for INNOVATION & RESILIENCE. Continuing this program supports recovery sensitively and compassionately, reinforcing the significance of art in overcoming trauma and adversity. 

The Secret Life of Collage Club proudly showcases some of the spectacular results made by the community. It celebrates the diversity, creativity, and resilience of our community and the making of art for play, well-being, and connection. 

Collage Club takes place each Thursday afternoon from 4–6pm, under the awning of the Lismore Regional Gallery at the Lismore Quadrangle, weather permitting.
