Made @ The Place

18 February 2025

Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—The Place is Charlestown's wonderful community centre. Made @ The Place is one of the many programs they run, providing young people with the opportunity to learn, create, exhibit, and even sell their creative work. Participants learn specific creative skills over four weeks. More than that, the initiative facilitates positive growth and artistic confidence of local youth. The program provides a safe and nurturing environment where young artists can explore their creativity, learn new techniques, and develop their unique artistic style. On 5 December 2024, the Place hosted an exhibition of the works produced by these talented young artists, an opportunity for the young artists to showcase their artwork, gain exposure, and receive feedback from the community. It was also an opportunity for the community to see the incredible talent of these budding artists and to support their creativity and growth. My congratulations to all the young artists involved in Made @ The Place, the experienced individuals who helped grow their skills, and of course the fantastic staff at The Place for making it happen.
