Arts & Minds Initiative

Celebrate the joys and benefits of art and art making in later life 

Arts & Minds encompasses a variety of arts-in-aging and arts-in-dementia programs on our continuum of care campus and in community locations. No previous artistic experience or knowledge is necessary to participate.

  • A library or community center?
  • A service organization, large family group, or student group?
  • A current or future professional in elder services, or an interested community member who wants to volunteer to work for creative aging?
 
You can participate in Arts & Minds no matter where you are in the greater CNY community:
