By attending the Bumbira Art & Culture Program participants gain improved social and emotional wellness in a nurturing, positive and safe environment. With the encouragement and support of staff participants develop a unique artist biography learning and speaking about themselves, their families, their history and their culture building positive and respectful relationships with themselves and community.

Participants gain cultural knowledge and skills
in traditional and contemporary art making and cultural practices. Under the guidance of staff and mentors at the centre participants apply techniques they learn into practice, creating their own pieces which they can keep for themselves, gift to friends and family or exhibit and sell at the Bumbira Aboriginal Art Gallery. Participants reflect on their artworks, their experience and their journey during the program creating a story for each of their artist pieces.
