Considering all the benefits of art and
creativity, Delmanor Wynford hosted its first Resident Art Show that featured
the works of fifteen residents. Each artist was encouraged to showcase their
work in a large display that was exhibited to the residents and staff at
Delmanor Wynford as well as the surrounding community. Mediums used for the
pieces ranged from oil, acrylic, water colour, ink, and charcoal. Each artist
displayed up to ten pieces for the show.
The evening prior to the Grand Opening,
all artists showcasing pieces were invited to an Artist Wine & Cheese Party,
that provided the artists with an opportunity to view and discuss each others work.
The artists really enjoyed the evening getting to know each other and
discussing the inspiration behind their work.

The Delmanor Wynford Resident Art
Show officially began with a Grand Opening which was well attended by
residents, staff, families, friends, and members of the community. It was clear
that the artists at Delmanor Wynford were proud to showcase their work and they
were overwhelmed by the support from other residents and community members.

and creativity are things that bring entire communities together.
