Art in the Park: Creative Expression & Connection in Nature

This event is a relaxed, monthly creative gathering led by Gold Coast artist Hayley Stanich, the creative force behind Smilefully Art. Set in a beautiful local park surrounded by fresh air and greenery, it offers a welcoming space for people of all ages and experience levels to explore creativity in a calm, supportive environment.

It isn’t about creating perfect artworks; it’s about enjoying the process! Here, you can relax, be yourself, and let the peaceful surroundings of nature ignite your imagination.

All art mateirals are provided, but feel free to bring a blanket/chair if you want extra comfort!
