  • Arts & Minds: A Showcase for Creative Aging at Pebble Hill Presbyterian Church
    All day
    11/04/2024-11/26/2024
    5299 Jamesville Road, DeWitt, NY 13214

     

    Do you believe older adults are beyond creative self-expression? In fact, our elders are often unbound from the rules that can limit creativity earlier in life. Visit the Arts & Minds Showcase of works by older adults, with and without dementia, in various media: painting, mixed media, collage, poetry, and more – and revitalize your attitude to aging. A short video is offered depicting the benefits to opening the spirit to aesthetic and meaningful self-expression in later life, and tells stories of how elder artists achieve purpose, meaning and self-validation as they are freed to develop artistic skills and capacity.

    The Showcase, created by Syracuse Jewish Family Service, is at the Pebble Hill Presbyterian Church from November 4-26. Please reach out to the Pebble Hill Presbyterian Church for hours the showcase is available for the community to view. Email: officeadmin@twcny.rr.com or call 315-446-0960. Office hours are Monday-Thursday 9:00am-1:00pm.

    The Showcase is made possible through the CNY Arts Grants for Regional Arts and Cultural Engagement regrant program and administered by the New York State Council on the Arts, as well as the Leonard and Irwin Kamp Family Foundation and many individual donors and corporate sponsors.

    Join in a collective “YES” to the full potential of the full-span of human life. Enjoy the art and participate in creating an aging-friendly community that celebrates the human potential for creativity and unlocks arts and minds at all ages!

  • OMA-thon 2024
    2:00 pm-4:00 pm
    11/17/2024
    Hodes Way 4101 E Genesee St Syracuse, NY 13214

    Say “YES” to aging and participate in OMA-thon on Sunday November 17 at Menorah Park! OMA-thon is a fun and social opportunity to experience Syracuse Jewish Family Service’s signature arts-based program, Opening Minds Through Art (OMA). OMA is an award-winning, evidence-backed intergenerational art-making program for older people, often those living with dementia. Elders (artists) are paired with volunteers who facilitate the creation of a piece of art. Relying on imagination, rather than memory, and strengths, instead of lost skills, OMA’s elder artists experience the joy of creative expression while engaging with others across the generations. Volunteers gain ease interacting with older people, particularly those with dementia, while enjoying the benefits of forming a close bond with an elder. See for yourself the power of creative arts-in-aging by playing the role of an “elder artist,” a “volunteer facilitator,” or an observer.  If you opt to volunteer as a facilitator and get trained, you will have the option to join SJFS’s Arts & Minds Volunteer Corps, and/or to subscribe to OMA-of-the-Month Club with your loved ones. In addition, works created at OMA-thon may be included (with artist permission) in “Arts & Minds: A Showcase for Creative Aging,” SJFS’s traveling art show circulating throughout CNY to showcase the accomplishments, benefits, and methods of our Arts & Minds initiative. OMA-thon is made possible by ongoing support from the Leonard and Irwin Kamp Foundation, CNY Arts, Excellus BCBS and many more. Your additional gifts help us do even more — consider donating online at www.sjfs.org/donate/  or become a OMA-thon sponsor. For more information or to register, please contact Hannah Pietra at pietrah@sjfs.org, or at 315 -446-9111 x130.
