Opportunity
Being creative and making art is enormously enjoyable and personally enriching and can make a huge contribution to a person’s wellbeing, especially in care settings.
Age & Opportunity and Nursing Homes Ireland are offering nursing homes, day services and other residential care settings the opportunity to meet, one on one, with a professional artist from their area. This meeting is intended to foster the beginnings of a possible collaboration, whereby the artist may offer residents a more immersive art making experience, or an unexpected art form to explore.
This matchmaking event will take place online in November, which will leave time for nursing home staff and the artist to develop ideas for a project or event which could be showcased as part of National Arts in Nursing Homes Day in May.
If you are interested in being matched with a professional artist to develop a project for National Arts in Nursing Homes Day 2025, please get in touch at arts@ageandopportunity.ie
