Collective 4891 Our events and projects invite people of all backgrounds, experience levels, cultures, and identities to create with and inspire each other.

Organising events and projects around the idea that art has the power to heal, build community, have important and constructive conversations, and shift culture for the better 🌱 Collective 4891 is a group of people with different skills that organises around the idea that art has the power to heal, build community, have important and constructive conversations, and ultimately, shift culture for th

e better. One of our first big projects was a zine project that collected artwork of different mediums themed around community care, which invited over $1100 to be donated towards local organisations that value anti-oppression and specifically, anti-Black racism work. With our recent expansion of the team, we are looking forward to planning events that cover a wider variety of art mediums and themes that resonate with more people.

Sure, the numbers aren't everything, but it's certainly fun to recap our year! Here's a little round-up of some of the accomplishments we're celebrating as 2024 comes to a close.

We are so so SO grateful for your continued support. It is our privilege to hold space for such a wonderful community! We've loved getting to meet so many new faces, spend time with old friends, and make meaningful connections in our little corner of the world with all of you this year 🌟

For now, the Collective is taking a quick break until January to rest and plan for the new year ahead. Wishing each of you warmth and care as we head into 2025, and thank you for being here! 🧡🍉
