We create community-engaging projects that use art as a vehicle for positive social change. Our goal is to strengthen the communities, within which we work. This year we rolled out the fourth and fifth version s of The Centenarian Portrait Project by Teenagers (TCPPBT) with 188 participants, across two states. As this was the first time delivering the program during COVID19, we began optimistically in South Australia, setting out to reach 100 centenarianartist pairs. Although 100 centenarians signed up and 90 artists, the constant rescheduling (due to COVID lockdowns and isolation periods), reduced the final number to 80 pairs. Due to Tasmania having a smaller population the project extended out across the state. The aim was to include 10 pairs in Tasmania, however it ended up being 14. TCPPBT is a community arts project that promotes intergenerational friendships, celebrates the elders in your city and fights the negative ageing stigma. Following the culmination of a lifeaffirming intergenerational process, an art exhibition profiled 80 South Australian centenarians and 14 Tasmanian centenarians through portraits created by skilled young artists. For most of artists it was an opportunity to meet a centenarian for the first time; for our centenarians a chance to share history and for both generations a memorable experience exchanging perspectives. Via a centenarian and artist call out, our pairs were matched geographically. Following this a guided initial introduction takes place led by our team. From this point the artists visit their partnered centenarian multiple times. During these visits sketches were created, photos shot and a portrait approach established amongst conversation that was always memorable. Following these gettoknowyou sessions the artists returned to their studios to complete their portraits. In addition the artists wrote a text to accompany their work including biographical facts about their subject, interesting stories and approaches to life at 100 and beyond. Post exhibition, the portraits were gifted to the centenarians and their families personally by their respective teenage artist. These 188 participants were provided the opportunity to get to know someone of a different generation, supported to have intergenerational exchanges, learning.
