Step towards each other!
This Mental Health Awareness Week, join us in connecting with your community through art. We invited people to decorate shoes to remind us of the importance of stepping towards each other to strengthen our health and wellbeing.
Our fabulously decorated shoes will be displayed around the region, and come together in a big art installation at Nelson Cathedral steps on Saturday 11th October between 10am and 2pm. Come along and bring the children as there will be a sausage sizzle and opportunity to decorate shoes to add to the installation… see you there.
How to get involved:
* Decorate your own shoes with friends and whānau, and drop them off to be included in the installation
Volunteer to help on our public installation day, 11th October at the Nelson Cathedral church steps
Share info on social media and help us promote the event
Where to donate shoes:
You can drop decorated shoes off at the following locations before 10th October 2025.
Refinery Artspace, 114 Hardy St
Magenta Creative Space, 15 Selwyn Place
