Gathering Place Arts Project

GatheringPlace is a pilot project that aims to create a new and inspiring challenge for individuals facing major periods of transition in their lives.   We are currently working towards the implementation of a programme of artist-led art projects within the Department of Elderly Care in both urban and rural hospitals and in Palliative Care at Roxburghe House, Aberdeen.

GatheringPlace will seek to re-engage individuals creatively, mentally and socially in their respective environments.  Art activities will be led by professional artists who will act as creative mentors working with individuals and small groups, enabling participants to tap into and develop their own creativity, at whatever level that might be.

‘Taster’ art sessions are already underway at Roxburghe House (see relevant project page for information).
