Meet Your Artist Facilitators
Morning Session – Tallulah Lines
The super talented Tallulah Lines will be leading the morning session. Tallulah is a muralist and visual artist, founder of Las Iluministas and co-director of Pink-collar Gallery.
She leads workshops and public art projects with a strong focus on social justice themes, working across a wide range of materials and with participants of all ages — from children to adults. Her practice is rooted in community engagement and collective creativity, regularly exploring identity, place, and shared storytelling through accessible making processes.

Afternoon Session – Anna-Marie Gallares
We’re delighted that Anna-Marie Gallares will be leading the afternoon session. Anna-Marie whose warm and thoughtful practice explores identity, migration, memory, and cultural belonging.
Working primarily with acrylic paint within an expanded painting practice, her work draws on pattern, colour, and symbolic motifs inspired by textiles and storytelling traditions, creating layered visual narratives rich with personal and cultural memory.
Anna-Marie is currently an AFF Breakthrough Artist Fellow in Residence at the University of Sunderland, and we’re thrilled to welcome her to this day of creative exploration and wellbeing.
Come along, connect with others, and enjoy a welcoming space for creativity, expression, and wellbeing.
Spaces are limited to keep sessions small and supportive — book early to avoid disappointment.
