Castlemaine Art Museum and Dhelkaya Health are hosting a special event to acknowledge the dedication of our paid, and volunteer, first responders.
CAM director Naomi Cass said they were pleased to welcome first responders and their families to CAM for this special event in recognition of their work.
“We hope to share the pleasures and benefits of enjoying the arts by way of thanks,” Ms Cass said.
Dhelkaya Health CEO Sue Race told the Express that the event was to thank the many first responders in our community whose work and actions helped protect and care for us all during the pandemic.
“They did so while so often caring for their own families and while very still much focused on delivering their day-to-day work,” Sue said.
“We have seen that our community can rely on first responders regardless of how unprecedented events may be.
“We wanted to express our collective gratitude to them while simultaneously promoting the healing opportunities that can come through engagement with art in a beautiful space which welcomes all.”
First responders, partners and children are invited to attend CAM on Sunday April 30 from 4pm to 6pm and enjoy local refreshments, drinks and the company of colleagues amongst CAM’s historic and contemporary artworks.
Art can inspire, refresh and soothe those who have given so generously over these challenging years.
