Evolving Canvases is a creative platform that uses art to support mental health, addiction recovery, and personal growth. Founded by people with lived experience, we believe that creativity isn’t just for artists — it’s a powerful tool for healing, reflection, and connection. Through workshops, exhibitions, and collaborative projects, we provide a space where individuals and communities can express themselves, build confidence, and feel seen.

​

One of our flagship initiatives is MindScapes — a series of mindful, art-based workshops co-designed with recovery charities and mental health organisations. Rooted in the Five Steps to Wellbeing (Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, and Give), these sessions include a mix of mask making, cyanotype printing, mandala painting, creative photography, and more. Each workshop is carefully facilitated with trauma-informed practices, safeguarding protocols, and a focus on lived experience.

​

MindScapes is not about making “perfect” art — it’s about making space for people to reconnect with themselves and others. Whether in recovery, going through a life change, or simply looking for a creative outlet, everyone is welcome.
