Artists in (aged care) Residence

Cade Lucas

The artistic talents of residents at Wyndham Lodge Aged Care Community were recently on display at its ‘Artists in Residence’ exhibition.

Both old and new works from Wyndham Lodge residents were exhibited, as was art from staff, volunteers and family members.

Residents were also involved in designing, planning and staging the exhibition, while

some even wore berets and scarves to look the part.

Wyndham Lodge was one of 16 Baptcare facilities across Victoria and Tasmania to hold exhibitions in April.

Baptcare CEO, Geraldine Lannon, attended the ‘Artists in Residence’ exhibition and said it was a special occasion.

“It was a joy to see so many families and friends joining our residents to celebrate.” Ms Lannon said.

The artworks are currently being photographed for a digital exhibition which will be open to the public.
