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 Jordan Elbridge Community Center from December 2-6, 2024.

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!
