Navigating restrictions can be difficult, but thanks to our friends + partners at Malvern Recreation Centre and @scarborougharts we were able to host in-person painting session for Malvern HERstory participants to connect in late November/early December.

Here's what some of our participants had to say about the experience:

"Before [Malvern HERstory] , I was in a really bad art block, and this program helped me get back in touch with my creativity, especially as it was all about expressing myself and being comfortable in my female identity!"

"The
people I met at Scarbrite were amazing because I shared a passion with them, [and they were able to support me in] showing feelings
through art."

"I feel inspired after being a part of the Malvern HERstory program. Through poems, paint and new friends, I found a way to express myself freely and dive deep into what makes a community so rich and beautiful." ✨
