Colour, connection and creativity shine at the 2025 Resident Art Showcase
“The food, the company, and the best art ever.” That’s how one attendee summed up the 2025 Resident Art Showcase, held in Rockingham this May.
This year’s event brought together 190 unique artworks from 50 talented tenant artists, showcasing an incredible variety of creativity - from crochet, woodwork, painting, drawing, mosaics, photography and more. The showcase offered more than just art - it was an opportunity to connect. “Engaging with artists, reading their stories and sharing in their art journey” is how one attendee captured the spirit of the day. The event welcomed 130 visitors, including families and friends of artists, local tenants, partner organisations, and Housing Choices staff. We sold nearly a third of
the works available, raising $2,000 - all of which goes directly back to our residents. Among the highlights were the People’s Choice Awards, where guests voted for their favourite artwork and artist. We also presented the New Artist Award, the Packers’ Prize (chosen by our team), and the Dean Baylis Memorial Award, honouring one of our first art exhibitors and funded annually by his mother Ursula. While a highlight of our calendar, the event is just one way we celebrate and promote tenant creativity year-round. We look forward to sharing more tenant artwork in the community in 2025.
