We know creativity improves brain function, lifts mood, builds trust and cooperation between humans, and is the foundation of innovation. We believe these benefits should be accessible to everyone.

From our kidlets who grow their creativity through regular classes and school holiday workshops, to those building their creative practice in later life, or corporate teams super-charging their productivity, problem-solving and team cohesion with creative mindfulness. We know life is just better if we’re able to explore this ancient, hardwired part of us in a safe and inclusive environment.

Ventana is all about using your hands, quietening your mind and connecting with others. And of course having a bloody good time.

“I constantly hear the words, ‘I’m not creative’. Or ‘I can’t draw or paint’. The secret is out of the bag. We’re all creative. And when engaging in activities that express and nurture this, there are massive benefits to our well-being as individuals and groups.”

“Creativity should be accessible to all, part of our everyday, woven into the important stages of our life. But most of all. Creativity should be fun.”

Bec - Ventana CCO (Chief Creation Officer)
