Its aim is to activate public spaces to generate hospitality, artistry and agency.
Artworks are generated within studios found within nature, public thoroughfares, health and cultural environments.
Festivals and celebrations feature bespoke events that bring art to people in social gatherings.
The wellness factor of the arts is considered to be restorative and to offer vitality and agency.
