Help wanted with artworks

Hospital Art at Umina is calling for people to help prepare artworks for use in hospitals, providing therapeutic benefits to the elderly, sick and the infirm.

Hospital Art president Mr Bill York said: "Whether you are an artist or not, it's a great way to help others.

"Anyone who can use a brush can assist with the finishing," he said.

"We also need woodworkers, people to liaise with facilities and others to help with the day to day management."

Mr York said the number of nursing homes and other facilities with long term residents and patients that used the service continued to grow each month, and now stood at about 120.

Volunteer artists draw and colour code canvases which then go to a facility, free of charge, for its residents to paint.

After painting by the residents, the canvases come back to Hospital Art for completion.

Volunteers undertake extra work needed to ensure that the bright and colourful paintings are worthy to be displayed on a wall.

They then are returned to the facility where the initial paining was done and hung where the residents can enjoy them.
