Western Australia Home Stories Winter 2025

Home on Canvas project comes to life

Over the past few months, we’ve been collecting decorated canvases from tenants across our communities - from Balga all the way down to Bunbury - as part of our Home on Canvas project.

Inspired by the question “What does home mean to you?” , more than 40 tenants have contributed canvases to the project. Some took part through our regular craft groups, others were artists from our annual Resident Art Showcase, and some responded to our callout in the newsletter. Some canvases capture childhood memories, landscapes that reminded them of home, beloved pets and family members. Others focus on the simple comforts of home like a cup of tea or the flowers and birds out their windows. Tenants used a wide range of materials and techniques including paint, marker, resin, embroidery, driftwood, card, 3D elements, and more-resulting in a vibrant and diverse collection that reflects the creativity of our community. We’re now in the process of mounting and framing the finished canvases, which will be proudly displayed in our office alongside short stories or quotes from each tenant explaining what home means to them.
