We are grateful to call the Sunshine Coast — within the swiya of the shíshálh Nation — our home. This land is rich with artistry, storytelling, and tradition, shaped by generations of people who lived, created, and shared here long before us. From traditional clothing, adornments, and tools to today’s evolving forms of art, creativity has always been a language that connects us to each other and to the land.

At Mad Park Art, we believe creativity is more than making something with your hands — it’s about making something that matters. Art invites people of all ages and backgrounds to gather, express themselves, and discover connections they didn’t know were possible. Whether it’s a drop-in session, a class, or a community event, we see art as the bridge that sparks conversation, builds friendships, and strengthens community ties.

Our purpose is simple but powerful: to provide a welcoming space where everyone — from the curious beginner to the experienced maker — feels encouraged to try, play, and create without barriers. We want people to leave not just with something they made, but with a sense of belonging, joy, and inspiration to carry into their daily lives.

At the heart of Mad Park Art are four passionate community-builders who bring their creativity, experience, and heart into every corner of the studio. Each founder contributes a unique spark — together making Mad Park Art the place where creativity and community collide.
