More about our 2026 Infuse workshops
The Fabric of Imagination – Creativity for Adults 18+
In 2026, INFUSE invites you to explore the many ways creativity can take shape. From drawing, collage, stitching, and paper arts, to puppetry, music, storytelling, poetry, and soundscapes, each workshop encourages participants to experiment, play, and make connections between ideas, materials, sound and senses. Led by professional artists, INFUSE workshops are designed for adults 18+ of all creative skill levels. You’ll be guided through hands-on activities inspired by the artists’ own practices, giving you the tools, techniques, and confidence to explore new ways of expressing yourself and unlocking your creativity. INFUSE 2026 is about the joy of making, the power of play, and the many threads that connect our stories, voices, and-of course- our imagination.
Infuse is supported by our generous donors, Belco Arts works with artists every day to realise their ambitions and connect them with the community. Through Infuse, you can donate directly to Belco Arts and boost our whole program.
