Virtual Exhibitions
To promote area artists during this pandemic, we’ve created online art exhibitions as well as artists snapshots which are viewable on our YouTube Channel at https://youtube.com/channel/UCX7IhR-fIokSK_-1SEuhcJw.
A Few Highlights
Creative Aging Symposia
Designed for people both in creative fields and aging services, our annual symposia provide an unparalleled opportunity to learn from experts in the field of arts and aging. Participants engage in immersive arts workshops to discover, or rediscover, their innate creativity and learn new techniques for engaging older people of all ability levels in meaningful, creative lifelong learning.
Art Parties
Whether it’s a holiday, a birthday, or any special occasion, our art parties offer a fun and stimulating judgement-free experience for creative exploration inspired by well-known artists. These parties are also a great team building activity for staff of aging service providers, corporations and more.
50 Plus Exhibitions
Showcasing artwork created by artists 50 years of age and better over 3 days, this event has drawn hundreds of people from around the community and provides much needed income for local artists, from amateurs to professionals. This and other community exhibitions also provide an opportunity for us to teach new artists how to write a bio and an artist statement, and how to install artwork for a show.
