CASS Care Launches ‘Golden Artists Project’ – Paint Away Loneliness: Creating Connections Through Art

CASS Care Launches ‘Golden Artists Project’ – Paint Away Loneliness: Creating Connections Through Art

We are calling on the community to help combat loneliness among older Australians by supporting our new Golden Artists Project: Paint Away Loneliness campaign, raising funds to connect older people through art, friendship and cultural expression.

Social isolation affects around one in five older Australians, and for many people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, language barriers, migration experiences and smaller local support networks can make loneliness even more challenging. Through the Golden Artists Project, CASS Care provides a welcoming space where older people can build friendships, express themselves creatively and celebrate their cultural heritage.

The Golden Artists Project fundraiser aims to ensure the program can continue providing art materials, creative workshops, exhibitions and social activities that enrich seniors' lives while strengthening community connections.

The project initiator, Ms Lily Chan, Corporate Affiars Officier, said,

"Art has an extraordinary ability to bring people together. Through the Golden Artists Project, we've seen friendships blossom, confidence grow and cultural stories shared across generations. Every donation helps reduce social isolation and creates opportunities for older people to connect, create and thrive."

 

Community members are encouraged to donate, share the project with family and friends, and help ensure older Australians continue to experience the joy, connection and wellbeing that creativity brings. The campaign runs until 31 December, 2026.
