RESIDENTS at Inglewood and Districts Health Service have put the finishing touches to art works ready for their exhibition next month.
The exhibition opening October 14 will feature more than 100 paintings by residents, some also for sale as greeting cards, and other works by district artists and school children.
Consumer, community and volunteer engagement officer Cindy Gould said: “During the Covid-19 restrictions, IDHS residents and staff were creative, finding meaningful experiences and connections through new activities.
“They participated in collaborative art, painted landscapes and captured local iconic buildings and community projects such as making Easter bunny masks for local kindergarten children,” she said.
“The art workshops introduced then have continued on, through the kind donations from the Wedderburn Craft Group and our resident’s family members.”
Cindy said residents had used various mediums such as sculpture, water paint, acrylics and pencil.
“As part of this program, some residents chose to sit as models and had their form painted. The resident’s art, has since featured in the form of greeting card are available for sale at reception to help fundraise for future leisure and lifestyle activities,” Cindy said.
