Collaborative Canvas Workshop at Wu Art Gallery

14 June 2026
Woolloomooloo, Sydney

Hosted at Wu Art Gallery, a contemporary space for Australian and Asian art, this workshop brought participants together around a single large-scale canvas. Guided by Sahar Mokhtari, the group began by mapping out flowing, organic shapes, then built them up with layers of colour, texture and gold detailing.

Surrounded by the gallery's collection, a styled floral installation and a shared table of refreshments, participants watched every brushstroke become part of one collective artwork: a celebration of creating side by side.
