The Whitsunday Leisure Activity Centre have excitingly unveiled a new initiative titled, Connecting Community Through Art to foster creativity and wellbeing among participants.
Since 1976, the ageing and disability activities centre has provided vital support and engaging programs for the Whitsunday Shire, and Whitsunday Leisure Activity Centre’s Chief Executive, Jayne Milne hopes this new community development project will continue enriching the lives of locals.
“The artwork created by our participants at the Centre will be collectively donated to multiple organisations around the region,” said Jayne.
“We hope these donations will not only raise awareness of the services we offer but also build a stronger sense of community through creativity.”
As part of the initiative, the Whitsunday Leisure Activity Centre have made donations of artwork to several local organisations like an environmental wildlife group and the Whitsunday Regional Council Proserpine Library.
One of the programs’ recent creations, “Aqua”, made its debut at the beloved Great Barrier Reef Festival last August, and then went on to turn heads and attract waves of attention at local salons, store windows and now at Proserpine’s Whitsunday Bakery.
“Our aim is to bring joy to the organisations receiving the artwork while simultaneously offering our participants a meaningful sense of purpose and connection.”
