Care home residents celebrate World Art Day

Acrylic was the order of the day at Wood Grange care home in Bourne where the art-loving residents were keen to get involved in World Art Day on April 15th.

World Art Day is an international celebration of the fine arts which was declared by the International Association of Art in order to promote awareness of creative activity worldwide.

Staff and residents at Wood Grange care home decided to invite Debi from Creation Station, who led a fantastic painting session for our residents, The atmosphere was calm, creative, and so relaxing! Everyone truly enjoyed expressing themselves through art. It was so lovely to see our residents getting involved, sharing smiles, and taking pride in their beautiful creations

Anya the Activities Co-ordinator at Wood Grange commented: “Our residents love to paint and colour, so World Art Day is a fantastic excuse for us to get out all our art materials and really get creative.”

Katya, General Manager at the home, said: “Our residents have had a great day enjoying painting.  Even those people who don’t consider themselves to be arty were able to join!”
