We are a non-profit organization that aims to assist and inspire seniors by teaching art.

We work closely with care center and memory care units in senior centers, assisting those most afflicted with physical and cognitive impairments by bringing joy and creative expression into their days. We design our curriculum to meet seniors at where they are while providing plenty of creative space and fun elements. Projects have ranged from paper wreaths to acrylic landscapes to rainsticks and watercolor flowers. We create an atmosphere for seniors and volunteers to enjoy each others’ presences and stories while reconnecting with an artistic passion or learning something new. We aim to continue improving the quality of classes and expanding our program to more seniors, touching and brightening more lives.
