Studios: Ocean Gardens, city beach

City Beach

The Ocean Gardens Retirement Village in City Beach has made available a large working room for use by artists. The room was previously used by the residents as an art space and includes easels, tables and sundry art supplies.

The artists are required to provide some activity and interaction with the residents. On an informal basis, this might take the form of residents ‘dropping in to observe or chat’ (boundaries/times can be set); and on a formal basis artists could run an activity with the residents once a week (workshop, art class).

Artists need to be mindful of the sensitivities of the residents, and need to be happy and willing to communicate with the oldies.
