VCCP hosts clients, partners + friends at ‘Grow Bold’ exhibition at Black Eye Gallery last night

Last night challenger agency, VCCP Sydney hosted ‘Grow Bold’, an exhibition of artwork from renowned photographer Simon Harsent and filmmaker Thibault Upton for aged care organisation Feros Care.

The exhibition, which was held last night at the Black Eye gallery in Surry Hills, featured portraits and short-films that captured the stories behind Australians who are defying the stereotypes of aging and disability and instead choosing to ‘grow bold’.

Amongst those featured were indigenous artists Euphemia Bostock and Danny Eastwood, 81 and 74; sailor Mary Bergstrom, 73; inventor Hans Van der Touw, 85; speed skater, actor, photographer Andrew Vial, 73; karate teachers Kay Melhuish, 77 and John Hamilton, 80; Mardi Gras pioneers Ron Harmer and Richard Winsbury; World Champion quadriplegic surfer Barney Miller and the effervescent party loving Dee Webb, Pamela Carsiniga and Cheng Chuah.

The event saw many of those ‘growing bold’ mixing with the clients, partners and friends of VCCP Sydney.

Commenting on the ‘Grow Bold’ work, VCCP ECD Gary Dawson said: “Our eyes were opened up to a world of adventurous, go-getting, forward thinking seniors with an eat life attitude that could put many of us to shame. Their stories are both inspirational and humbling. As Mark Twain once said,’ Age is a matter of mind over matter. It doesn’t matter, if you don’t mind.’ And it’s this mantra, this philosophy that Feros Care want to promote and help Australian’s Grow Bold.”

VCCP Sydney would like to thank:
