Artistic talent on display at Fairview Homes

The creation of a residents’ art gallery at Fairview Homes for the Aged at Warragul has unearthed plenty of artistic talent.

The gallery was made possible by a successful application for a Baw Baw Shire council community development grant.

The funding enabled an art gallery space to be built that enables residents’ artwork to be displayed in a professional way.

Lifestyle manager at Fairview Maddie Jones said that in addition to celebrating the residents works of art the gallery provides meaningful engagement for residents and a sense of purpose and achievement.

Ms Jones said former staff members Maria Rodda and Lois Tarrant devoted considerable time and passion into the application to council for the funding.
