Lizzie Bee and The Nesbitt Centre Art Project
Dyverse came across a wonderful non-profit organization called Lizzie Bee. The organization develops and promotes art workshops by bringing art, artist and community together. They believe that art and making art can trigger change and everyone should have access to art projects that are meaningful.
Lizzie Bee most recent art project was partnering with The Nesbitt Centre to showcase two talented Nesbitt’s students. Jim Ronn and Greig Carruthers worked closely with three year 13 students at Chinese International School. Kolleen Ku, Joanna Fu and Peijing Chung share the love for art and they believe that painting is a powerful tool for communication.
