Art Write Now: Alchemy: Instructions for Transformation

Saturday 24 October 2026 | 01:30 PM

Surfers Paradise

In this workshop, we will visit the exhibition Alchemy, before undertaking a series of responsive guided writing exercises exploring ritual and transformation.

Facilitated by award-winning writer Christine Betts, this series of creative writing workshops involves spending time in the Gallery and responding to exhibitions and works of art through a range of guided writing exercises. Take part in thought-provoking discussion in a safe space to fuel your creative writing dreams and get your words onto the page!

For writers at every level of experience and genre. Beginners welcomed. Recommended for ages 16+.

Each Art Write Now workshop is unique, designed in response to the changing exhibition program. Participants are encouraged to write freely, with no expectation to share work during the workshop.
