“Our residents have found the entire process of working with the young artists on Grandbabs extremely valuable. The need for intergenerational projects could not be stronger especially in the wake of the pandemic and both generations have come to understand one another more throughout the project. What started as an art project developed into so much more and ultimately concluded with friendship, understanding and intergenerational connection.”
-ExtraCare Charitable Trust
Cannot recommend Art Fom A&K enough!
An amazing to team to work with, not only did they come up with several amazing designs for me to choose from, they then took my feedback and reworked 2 designs to include all of the things I wanted. With minimal instruction from me they were able to take the vision out of my head and make it a reality on the building. They worked through horrendous weather conditions, including snow and gale force winds to ensure we had our mural ready for the initial deadline.
The public reaction to our mural has been amazing and we have seen this reflected in the number of walk-ins we’ve been getting since the mural was finished.
Thankyou so much Alex, Kiran, Uncle B and Felix.

“it was interesting, they worked so hard on the picture and my dog, my little holly, I thought it was all brilliant having the young people there,It was a dose of medicine it really was.
I have terminal lung cancer and I have days when I feel I’m no good for anything and I thought if I felt ok I’ll come to the event.
I live by a quote of never losing your own pride and taking pride in what you do and this was what was put on my picture.”-

“THE REACTION FROM STAFF AND RESIDENTS WAS WONDERFUL, I COULD SEE THE JOY IN THEIR FACES. IT MADE THEM FEEL IMPORTANT AND SEEN. I NOTICED THIS PROJECT MADE ME CONNECT TO THE RESIDENTS MORE, AS I HEARD ABOUT THEIR PAST EXPERIENCES THAT THEY HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. IT ALSO HELPED ME TO SEE HOW THE WORLD IS FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND THE DIFFICULTIES THAT THEY FACED THAT WE WOULD NOT NECESSARILY KNOW TODAY. THIS TYPE OF PROJECT IS VALUABLE TO THE OLDER GENERATION. THEY CHERISH MOMENTS LIKE THIS, WHERE THEIR LIFE STORIES AND OPINIONS ARE VALUED AND LISTENED TO.
