There is great value in bringing together generations. We often hear, ‘years apart’. The vision of this program is to change that to ‘years together’. Bringing together the energy, wisdom, inspiration and creativity of generations to create positive change through art. So, every Saturday in July this summer generations will meet to talk, learn and create intergenerational masterpieces. Participants will receive the encouragement, knowledge and tools to create collaborative works of art that represent their thoughts and ideas on who they are in their community and what ideas they have to make change.
Final art pieces will be showcased in a special Art Exhibit & Celebration on the final day of the program.
