Hello everyone!
My name is Wallis Prophet, I’m the Director of Community ArtReach, driving the course of this dynamic project which was born from hosting Draw Your (S)words Poetry events on Kaurna Yarta for the past nine years. Beyond my role as a proud queer trans writer, my professional journey encompasses significant experience in mental health support. This background has deeply influenced my commitment to the transformative power of story telling and the arts, recognising the profound impact poetry has on an individual and community well-being.

My advocacy extends past the realm of creative writing; I am also a passionate activist for social justice. Community ArtReach is a culmination of these diverse experiences, providing a space where creativity flourishes, voices resonate, and individuals find inclusion and support for their artistic endeavors. With a foundation rooted in mental health support, I've shaped Community ArtReach into more than an events business. It stands as a testament to the belief that the arts can be a catalyst for positive change, highlighting inclusivity and connecting people in with their community from all walks of life.

Our Story

At Community ArtReach our ethos is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a space where they feel not only safe but genuinely welcomed. We strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone is celebrated, and individual voices are honoured. Our commitment extends to building connections, encouraging confidence, and creating a sense of belonging for all who attend. In every workshop, whether it's poetry or confidence building, our guiding principle is to provide a culture where individuals can explore their creativity without fear or judgment. We understand that each person brings a unique perspective to the table, and it's within this diversity that the magic of our community unfolds.
