Welcome to Anew

I wanted to read an authentic, community magazine with nostalgic paper feel, full of positive artist stories, purposeful workshops, professional emotional support, art therapy exercises and lots more.

Something like an artist run space or a gallery, but in paper form, that connects creative communities across SE Qld.

I couldn't find it, so I created it.

Heart warming reviews from readers and industry leaders

Featured Artists

Crafting Creativity by Kristen Thompson

Early nurturing of Kristen's kaleidoscopic works of colour and pattern ensure another generation of artistic delights for our community to enjoy.

"I paint because I enjoy the outlet. There's such a sense of satisfaction finishing a painting for my wall, though it is never really done until it is sealed."

Creativity, Community and wellbeing

Start Anew today. A new interest, a new artwork, a new perspective, a new something. Something that makes you feel alive, feel real, feel authentic.

It's about the doing because the magic happens in the making.

And that's what we want you to do. Make something. Because making something makes us feel better in ourselves.

We want you to disconnect, create what you love and share your story. Drawing, painting, creative writing, sewing, gardening, cooking, photography, dance, theatre, ceramics, craft, woodwork, music... What do you find refuge in?

If you need some inspiration, Anew's artist-led and self-managed workshops are guaranteed to motivate.

You'll find Anew in print at lots of public spaces across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast. Locations are listed below.

We freely promote a non-profit or social enterprise in every issue that uses creative therapies in their services for our community members.

Anew magazine is owned and published by Creative Communities Development Inc., a Not-For-Profit organisation.
