This article describes the Art Table at a drop-in centre for asylum seekers and refugees. It shows how a non-verbal approach can offer an opportunity for members to experience self-expression, companionship and healing in a safe space. This is illustrated by four stories of members and their artwork. The structure, approach and materials are described, followed by a discussion as to whether this work should be defined as art therapy or art and well-being. Issues specific to refugees are highlighted. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of community building and relational social justice
