About the organisation

Wild At Heart is one of Australia’s leading disability arts organisations, providing opportunities for people to to tell their own stories through arts and music and use their voice in society through their artistic work.

Wild at Heart creates and supports an extraordinary community of artists who experience severe isolation, exclusion and stigma through mental illness, disability, addiction, trauma and poverty.

Our artists’ work ranges from beginner through to emerging professional standard. The quality of the art is engaging, entertaining and captivating in its musicality and authenticity.
