Generating Opportunity CIC

Our Creative Wellbeing ethos is all about sharing positivity through the activities and artworks of our brilliant participants and creative collaborators from across Perth and Kinross. ​One of these activities is taking photos from a window and our creative colleagues at Wisecraft, Blairgowrie and The Walled Garden, in Perth, have got us off to a cracking start. They have also shared some of their lovely paintings from a window - Our Happy Place, in our Creative Gallery. Another of our activities is Pocket Positives - positive messages of hope and goodwill being shared by Care Home residents and others to support and encourage local schoolchildren. Many Care Homes have a relationship with a local school, but these connections have been disrupted for the past year or two. So, this is an opportunity for Care Homes to reconnect with local schoolchildren. Residents might also like to share messages about what they wish they had known when they were at school! We will include some of these uplifting words in our anthology of prose and poetry to mark our Brighter Days Ahead exhibition. We also have activities based around 'Affirmations' which many people have already enjoyed, so do have a look at this page too. Our 'Lessons from Life' are a series of more general affirmations matched to cherished photos of Scottish landscapes, so you could do this too, using your favourite photos. ​We are also privileged to highlight the work of local arts group ARTvantage whose growing strength and achievements come from their creative practice.
