June 14th – June 20th 2021 marked Learning Disability Week and this year the theme was arts and creativity. We celebrated this week at Bethphage by launching our own Learning Disability Week Art Competition, where people we support could submit their arty creations to be in with the chance to win an e-voucher!
We had lots of brilliant submissions, it was lovely to see how many people seem inspired by nature and animals! We would like to thank everybody who got involved, we were spoilt for choice and our judging panel had their work cut out for them.
Our joint winners for the Bethphage Art Competition 2021 are Rosie and Emma! We absolutely love Rosie’s painting of Doris the Donkey at Oak Farm, and think Emma’s use of colour in her cat collage is fantastic.
Congratulations Rosie and Emma, your prize is on its way to you!
You can see all the wonderful artistic submissions on our Facebook page.
Thank you again to everybody who got involved and arty for Learning Disability Week 2021!
