Creative center - SCHEDULE

Upcoming schedule

ArtMobile facilitates ARTS n’ MEALS outdoor creative social engagements for older adults in rural communities that have limited resources. The program also includes delivery of project art kits to older adults that are isolated in their homes. The program focuses on addressing loneliness and social isolation among older adult and special needs populations of all ages, a critical crisis during COVID-19 and after. Research has shown that engaging in creative arts activities, even for short periods of time, reduces stress, enhances coping, and promotes well-being.
