Joined at the Art — Oberon

A multi-generational art program connecting aged-care residents with local primary school students — built on movement, storytelling and music.

Joined at the Art brings together residents at Oberon Multi-Purpose Service (MPS) aged-care with students from St Joseph’s Primary School once a fortnight, in artist-led sessions full of movement, storytelling and music. It’s a simple idea with a powerful effect: young and old, side by side, creating together.

Creative Producer: Cath McNamara and ArtsOutWest

Teaching artists : Renata Commisso, Cath McNamara and Abby Smith

With thanks

This program wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of The Pines Wind Farm, the staff at St Joseph’s Primary and Oberon MPS, and Fran Charge at Oberon Arts Council for so much behind-the-scenes coordination.
