ArtAbility Exhibition

From May 12 to May 23, 2025, the Reservoir Library will come alive with colour, emotion, and community spirit as it hosts a unique art exhibition showcasing works from participants of ADEC’s Artability Workshops.
Led by a qualified art therapist, the Artability Workshops have provided a creative outlet and safe space for participants to express their emotions, build confidence, and connect with others. Many of the artists are exhibiting their work publicly for the first time – a moment that brings a mix of excitement, pride, and nervous anticipation.
“This exhibition isn’t just about art – it’s about expression, healing, and inclusion,” says Kerry, Capacity Building Team Leader at ADEC. “Many of the artists involved have faced significant barriers, from isolation to health challenges, and this program has given them a voice through creativity.”
The Reservoir Library has been a committed partner in this initiative, not only offering space for the workshops but also hosting public exhibitions that celebrate the courage and creativity of local residents. Past events have included intimate celebrations where artists, their families, and community members come together to honour their achievements and share their stories.
