GCMAGIC participated in the ArtBeat Annual Festival held on 14 October at the Gold Coast University Hospital. The festival was organised by Madeline Collins, manager of Creative Hub, and her team at GCUH.
The event was well-attended, by members of the public and those working in the field of mental health. All stall holders provided important information on health, wellbeing and art. Performances were professional and impressive.
GCMAGIC had many positive interactions with the visitors, answering the question: ‘What art means to you?’
