DEC 2008 The OSCAR - OUR 36 th YEAR Page 45 Art Brightens Walls and Lives at the Glebe Centre By Kirsten O’Brien Program Facilitator – Dementia The Glebe Centre Inc. Margaret looks out the large windows at the damp snow tumbling out of a grey and gloomy sky. The grey and cold outside contrast sharply with the colour and warmth inside the Glebe Centre, and after a small shudder she turns back to the task at hand, her latest painting. Scenes like this are evident every Wednesday and Friday during our resident art sessions. Since moving to our new home location four years ago, the Glebe Centre has had the opportunity to expand this outlet for our residents to express themselves. Many of our residents are no longer able to clearly articulate their thoughts and ideas, they may need help to accomplish daily tasks that we take for granted. Yet to see each of these individuals participate in the Art Group, it is as though we are looking at another group of individuals. Their hands are steady; there is clear determination in each stroke of the brush, and clear language filters through the confusion. Staff member Patricia Doyle lovingly oversees the Art Therapy Program on the Centre’s 4 Dementia Units. Patricia completed her Fine Art Degree at Mount Allison University and then went on to study at The Banff School of Fine Arts. The art groups began meeting weekly, working on smaller canvases, and working toward larger canvas and mural pieces. Family members and volunteers who support the group take direction from Patricia on how to engage, assist and cue clients who need the extra support. Many of the clients are still able to work independently, some continuing with their life passion of painting. For some of our clients this is the only activity they truly look forward to each week. On Nov. 14th, the Art Therapy Group held its second Art Exhibition and Silent Auction, highlighting approximately 70 pieces of residents’ Art. All proceeds will be used to continue the Art Therapy Program that brings such satisfaction to our residents and colour to our hallways.
