Kiwi House Care Home Resident’s Artwork Displayed at Fine Art Gallery Through Make-A-Wish Program

Posted on 25 June 20249 September 2024 by Lexie Jex

A Care home resident’s lifelong wish came true last week as part of Kiwi House Care Home Make-A-Wish program. The team at Kiwi House in Alvaston, Derby, with the help of Bluebird Fine Art Gallery, surprised June (92) by displaying her artwork in a public gallery for everyone to see.

June, an avid artist, spends hours on her much-loved hobby of painting and drawing. She is an active member of the Arts & Crafts Club at Kiwi House, where her talent is well-recognised. When June expressed her wish to see her artwork displayed in a professional gallery, the dedicated activities and wellbeing team at Kiwi House knew they had to make it happen.

Upon arriving at Bluebird Fine Art Gallery, June initially did not recognise her own paintings. Once she realized they were indeed hers, she exclaimed, “I can’t believe they are my paintings, they don’t look out of place! I can’t believe I am seeing them here.”
