Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Seniors’ Artwork will be exhibited at the PEC on 12th June, following popular ‘Stitch In Time’ workshops.
Over the past year, seniors from across the region have participated in a range of ‘Stitch In Time’ creative art workshops delivered by the Social Seniors Whitsundays project, an initiative of Whitsunday Regional Libraries.
Textile workshops were delivered by local artists with the aim of creating memory books, with each piece of artwork capturing an important part of the artist’s life. These moving works are now being showcased in a free community exhibition on 12th June at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre.
Mayor Ry Collins congratulated the workshop series and praised the changes it is inspiring within our region.
“It’s all about combatting social isolation within our senior community,” he said.
“The Social Seniors Whitsundays project and the Stitch in Time workshop series are offering our seniors the chance to share their stories, create community and become more socially active.”
The exhibition will honour the distinct artworks created and will showcase a range of textile formats including hand-woven pieces, needle-felted stories and imaginative hand-printed memory books.
Attendees will also have the chance to enjoy light refreshments and meet the artists whilst they explore the artworks.
