Art Starts Here is a creative workshop and facilitation business run by artist, Kylie Biltris.
With a focus on creating tailor-made experiences, Art Starts Here offers a range of classes in different mediums, including resin, alcohol ink, polymer clay, macrame, mosaic and silk scarf marbling. Kylie's expertise in working with diverse groups of people and her ability to communicate and inspire make her a great teacher and enabler. She has worked on projects for councils, funded initiatives, schools, aged care, women's groups, and more, contributing to connection, mental health, confidence, and skill-building. Whether it's a private group, function, or staff development day, Art Starts Here provides a unique and engaging experience, requiring no previous skill or natural talent, that sparks creativity and fosters connection.
Art Starts Here has worked with a diverse range of organisations, contributing to community-building, skill development, and mental health initiatives. Some of the organisations Kylie has collaborated with include Regional Art Victoria, Shire of Towong, City of Albury, Wagga Wagga & Wodonga, Tallangatta Health Services, Gateway Health, local Neighbourhood Houses, and the Country Women's Association. These partnerships have provided opportunities to create inspiring art projects in various settings, from schools to aged care facilities, as well as with women's groups and other community organisations. Art Starts Here's approach of tailoring experiences to the needs and goals of each group has proven effective in promoting creativity and fostering a sense of connection and wellbeing.
