Belmont House - Homes for the Aged - Toronto, Canada

Installation

Everyday, residents at Belmont House challenge our perception of aging. Come see their unique work and the rich life stories that inspire them.

For Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, participating resident/artists have collaborated to produce a showcase of personally significant and contemporary artwork across various mediums. The artists of Belmont House hope to play a leadership role by inspiring others to follow in their path and challenge the perception of aging.

Residents (most between the ages of 85-95 years) continue to lead rich and fulfilling lives. Under the guidance of Belmont House's unique Art Therapy program, many residents are able to express their creativity and talent.

A group of Belmont House residents (most over 85 years old) were each asked to portray one personal memory through a unique medium.
