On Saturday (8 November) The Preston Corps, in Partnership with Crossroads and the City of Darebin, launched our latest community integration and support program. This Art Project will continue over 8 weeks as up to 15 people, new immigrants and their mentors, join together to learn how to create a sculptural masterpiece.Under the direction of internationally acclaimed artist Conrad Clark (www.conradclark.com.au) the participants are encouraged to design or adopt a bold and striking image that symbolises their life journey. After
sketching this design each participant will learn how to carve the image from Hebel brick. At the end of the program we will exhibit the masterpieces in the foyer of The Salvation Army in Preston. This mission initiative of The Salvation Army’s Northern Mentoring Support Program (Jeremiah Temple) is another opportunity for new Australians and their mentors to build relationships and to be introduced to the Corps in a non-threatening and empowering environment.
