The event featured local artist vendors and performances by talented musicians and singers provided by York Region Open Mic. We also showcased art work made by our seniors who participated in the art classes and featured an activity for attendees of all ages to doodle an inspiration or picture on a post-it note to include on our “Art is Ageless” themed poster board.

Our Art is Ageless Mentoring Classes and Special Workshops are projected to begin in the spring of 2022. The Art is Ageless Classes are intended to be an extension of the seniors art classes we offered in October 2021, however this time with a focus on seniors mentoring the younger generation while learning about art together.
Our Special Workshops are also intended to be an extension of the seniors art classes from October 2021, however these classes will be one-time single day workshops instead of 5-week sessions.
