Every corner has a story: Meet our 2027 BlueCare calendar winners
From treasured memories and favourite places to colourful creations and everyday moments, we're delighted to announce the talented artists selected for the 2027 BlueCare Resident Artwork Calendar.
This year's theme, My Corner of the World, celebrates the people, places and experiences that make life meaningful.
Every corner has a story. A favourite view, a treasured memory, a connection to nature or something ordinary that makes us stop and smile. Through their artwork, our residents and clients invite us to see the world through their eyes and discover the moments that matter most to them.
A colourful celebration of creativity
Across the calendar, you'll discover a wonderful collection of artistic styles and subjects. From peaceful garden scenes and coastal landscapes to colourful floral creations, Australian wildlife and reflections on treasured places, each artwork offers a unique perspective.
Some artists have drawn inspiration from the places they call home, while others have explored personal memories, cultural connections and the things that bring them happiness.
Together, their creations remind us that inspiration can be found everywhere, and that creativity knows no age.

Every corner has a story
Beyond the selected artworks, this year's calendar celebrates the wonderful people and communities behind the creations.
A special artist feature brings together additional submissions in a colourful mosaic, showcasing the imagination, individuality and creative spirit found across BlueCare.
From painting and drawing to photography, sculpture and handcrafted creations, the calendar reflects the many ways people express themselves and share their stories.
It's a reminder that art is about much more than the finished piece. It's about the memories it captures, the conversations it starts and the connections it creates.
More than just a calendar
The BlueCare Resident Artwork Calendar is about much more than marking the days of the year.
It's an opportunity to celebrate creativity, encourage self-expression and recognise the remarkable talents of residents and clients across our communities.
Whether someone has been creating art for decades, discovered a new passion later in life or simply enjoys expressing themselves through colour and creativity, every contribution has a story worth sharing.
This year's theme reminds us that our own little corners of the world are filled with meaning, memories and possibilities.
Thank you to our talented artists
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who submitted artwork for consideration.
While not every entry could be featured in the final calendar, every submission reflects the creativity, individuality and wonderful spirit of our BlueCare community.
Congratulations to our selected artists, and thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us.
We can't wait to share the finished 2027 BlueCare Resident Artwork Calendar with our communities.
