Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing through the arts

Frankston Arts Centre - Arts Access aims to reduce the barriers that stop some people from attending - be they financial, physical, psychological or perceived.

Many people already benefit from the social and emotional aspects of the arts and with our help many more could benefit. We're working with the community to increase options for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, with a particular focus on people with mental health issues.

The aim is to increase access to the Franskton Arts Centre (FAC) through participation, performances and events.
