Discover Something New!
About the Discovery for Recovery Program
The Discovery for Recovery Program was developed in 2020 by the SYP Arts Development group to help support regional communities on Southern Yorke Peninsula by providing opportunities for social connection, local economic growth and cultural development though the arts.
Initially, a series of over 20 arts workshops were available for community members and visitors to Southern Yorke Peninsula throughout 2021-2022 to discover new skills and try something different, and more events are always being added.
As well as the community benefits of the program, at least 20 artists will be employed and some provided with valuable mentoring and skill development opportunities.
Bookings are available online at www.discoveryworkshops.com.au or by contacting Jasmine Swales, Discovery Workshops Project Manager at jasmine@studiosurf.com.au.
Proudly supported by Country Arts SA through the Regional Arts Fund.
