Finishing Touches : Artistic Golden Brooch Project

Finishing Touches: My Artistic Golden Brooch is a project partially funded by the Redland Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), MiCare Ltd., and some financial support from Business Suppliers SSS Australia, PFD Food Services PTY Ltd., and Plena Health. This project engaged a group of 16 Elders from different cultural backgrounds residing at MiCare Prins Willem Alexander Lodge in Birkdale, Brisbane. Each Elder worked individually with a designated volunteer at the Elders’ pace. The 17 meaningful painting reflects a rich life experience and history that we would like to share with the greater Redland’s community.
Elders were immersed in a creative and meaningful art experience, in a supportive and harmonious environment, where they comfortably communicated and displayed their creativity, regardless of their abilities, cognitive stages, and cultural and linguistic heritage.
