Service Areas
Roberts Block Creative Arts Therapy Centre supports the community through heritage conservation, public education, and creative arts therapy. By offering activities that bring together art, history and well-being, we aim to create a welcoming space where everyone can connect, learn, and grow.
Heritage Conservation
This is more than just a historic building—it’s a space for healing. We invite you to step into Roberts Block, listen to the stories the architecture tells, and savour a moment to slow down.
Public Education
Art is not only about creating—
it’s also about caring for yourself.
We offer workshops, stress-relief classes, family activities,
school outreach programmes,
and retreat days, helping more people discover a new way to nurture their mental well-being.
Creative Arts Therapy
If you feel stuck or overwhelmed, this is a safe space with professional support.
Through art, music, and movement, you can reconnect
with your own rhythm.
Range of Services
Whatever your interests or level of involvement, we offer opportunities for you to explore and engage in ways that suit you.
