Edwards Manor Community Mural

Working with Lakeshore Arts, I facilitated a mural with senior residents at Edwards Manor who now get to enjoy a lobby they painted themselves. Over the course of 12 workshops, seniors participated in the way they could, whether it was to help draw, paint or give positive feedback. Their enthusiasm and appreciation during the entire project resulted in a brighter, happier lobby that’s full of life and that everyone gets to share. At the mural unveiling, member of Parliament, James Maloney was introduced, “James understands firsthand the power that art can have on a community. As a mental health and wellness advocate, he values the work that the art sector is doing to help create healthy cities.”
