Planetary Healing Artists’ Association of Australia (PHAAA) supports Artists and all Creatives, working alongside like-minded partners to expand our impact of healing and creating meaningful connection for world peace. It is a blessing to share this journey with you all.
On behalf of the Board of Planetary Healing Artists’ Australia, here’s Blessings to a new year of expansion, purpose, and new possibilities.
REPORTING | Healing the Community Art Exhibition
We hope you managed to catch our amazing art exhibition ‘Healing through Connection’, which has just come to a close at Port Melbourne Town Hall. The exhibition brought together an inspiring collection of works by 12 artists, showcasing a diverse range of styles, themes, and creative voices. The response from visitors was overwhelmingly positive, and it was a pleasure to see so many people engaging with the artwork. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the exhibition such a success.
As we look ahead, we’re currently preparing for another large group exhibition later this year.
In the meantime, there are also opportunities available for artists interested in holding a solo exhibition at Minerva Gallery at Planetary Healing Artists’ headquarters, 224 Danks Street, Albert Park.
If you’d like to find out more or discuss availability, we’d love to hear from you. Simply email your enquiry to: exhibit@planetaryhealingartists.org
REFLECTING | A Magical Day of Healing Through Connection: St Kilda Peace Festival | Sunday 14 December 2025
What a truly beautiful and relaxing day, shared together in a stunning outdoor setting. The atmosphere was filled with warmth, joy, and connection, making this festival a wonderful success.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous funders City of Port Phillip and the Victorian Government for making this event possible, and to all the incredible artists, participants, presenters, Santa, volunteers and entertainers who brought the day to life. Your passion, creativity, and generosity of spirit created something truly special.
A special thank you to our MC, Leila Gurruwiwi who kept the day flowing and continually grounded us in our theme of Healing Through Connection, ensuring every moment felt meaningful and inclusive.
We are also deeply grateful to the Salvation Army for so warmly welcoming us to their venue, and to Bunnings and Coles, whose support allowed us to purchase gifts for our presenters as a small token of our appreciation.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to this magical day. Together, we created a space of connection, healing, and joy that will be remembered for a long time to come.
We met the artists at the opening of the ‘Healing through Connection’ art exhibition during the 2025 St Kilda Peace Festival on Sunday 14 December. It was inspiring to hear some of the artists speak about their artworks and the creative processes. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories!
