Celebrate the joys and benefits of art and art-making in later life! Organized by Syracuse Jewish Family Service (SJFS), Arts and Minds: A Showcase for Creative Aging features works created by elder artists engaged in Syracuse Jewish Family Service’s Arts and Minds Initiative, including Opening Minds Through Art (OMA) and the Arts & Minds section of M-Power U (MPU): A Learning Community for Early Memory Loss. The showcase will be at Jordan-Elbridge Community Center from December 2-6, 2024. Arts & Minds: A Showcase for Creative Aging is traveling for at least the next year throughout Central New York to demonstrate the limitless power of creativity and to disrupt ageism. It 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.
