Mallee Arts and Wellness Program
The Mallee Arts and Wellness Program is bringing organised arts, cultural and wellbeing activities to the greater Mallee region, encompassing the towns of Parrakie, Geranium, Lameroo, Parilla, and Pinnaroo. In response to community surveys, we will be broadening our activity base to include a range of activities that bring people together and may influence physical activity, nutrition, and improved mental health, such as gardening, cooking, dance, in both small and large groups. Activities will be facilitated and supported from the Mallee Arts Hub (Pinnaroo), the physical home of the Mallee Arts and Wellbeing Program, with additional support from local groups in each town.
Our vision is to engage further audiences and extend workshops to all Southern Mallee towns so that more people can benefit from the proven health and wellbeing outcomes that include learning new skills, improving social cohesion, reducing isolation and breaking down social and racial barriers.
