Our program invites Older Adults to explore the vibrant world of acrylic painting over nine weeks. Each session is designed to build upon the last, from foundational techniques to the nuances of personal expression. Participants will explore various themes and topics, such as still life, landscapes, and portraits enhancing their skills and confidence.

Beyond the canvas, this program aims to foster a sense of community and belonging, encouraging social engagement through art.

Join us to discover not just the joy of painting but the joy of connection.

No experience necessary. Supplies will be provided.
