Art for Life is an art studio at 275 Fifield Terrace in Opawa, Christchurch, that teaches art to people with additional needs. The website says the trust has existed in various forms for more than 20 years, and became a formally constituted trust in 2014. Its studio offers painting, drawing and mixed media in what the website describes as a safe, friendly and relaxed setting. The trust aims for equitable and accessible opportunities for all students, regardless of background, ability or circumstance.
Sessions are $25 per student per session, as at 2026, and all materials are provided. Experienced tutors and volunteers are on hand. Visitors can join a class, volunteer or donate. One customer calls it a great workshop for people with disabilities.
