OCTOBER    

Project Manager:     Monica Finch

Delivered through Mitchell Neighbourhood House, Wonthaggi

 

WISE OLD ART:

                               exploring the myths, realities and the gifts of ageing.

 

An inspiring exhibition that showcases the gifts of ageing and the wisdom that comes with years.

"Wise Old Art" is a senior’s art therapy initiative designed to promote positive images of ageing. This year a diverse group of seniors from within the Bass Coast community have been gathering to share and explore their experiences of ageing. This has become the subject matter and inspiration for art work by novice artists who have something to say.

 This is powerful way for our seniors to communicate to the general public; to express what ageing means personally, socially and spiritually. 

“This project is funded by the Department of Planning and Community Development”.
