H’art Centre Volunteer

H’art Centre is an award-winning, registered not-for-profit, charitable community arts hub that provides artists with disabilities and those facing barriers with opportunities to create, study and produce works in the arts and collaborate with qualified, trained community artists.

We do this to nurture a vibrant, exciting, and supportive culture that encourages artists, staff, volunteers, and audiences to reach beyond limiting beliefs and expectations. To value and recognize artists individually for their abilities, and to share this understanding with the world.

We give our valued volunteers the opportunity to work within our H'art Studio program and alongside H'artists and trained artist-instructors.

  • Learn or develop skills
  • Be part of your community
  • Gain a sense of achievement
  • Boost your career options
  • Have new experiences
  • Meet a diverse range of people
