Artists in Residence: Art Across Generations Gallery Opening

Everyone Welcome

About the Program

Join us for a special evening in celebration of intergenerational art! Work collaboratively created in the Art Across Generations program series will be on display and launched at this interactive exhibit. 

The first program in the series saw Tweens and Older Adults make one piece of art in programs taking place at different branches on the same day. These initial works were then anonymously swapped and built upon, so that Older Adults worked on the Tween art, and the Tweens worked on the Older Adult artwork. Both groups of artists will meet for the first time and discuss their artwork during this gallery exhibit.

This drop-in program is open to all members of the public, including friends, caregivers, and family of the program participants. Light refreshments will be provided.

Final art pieces from the program will be on display in the Program Room at the John M. Harper branch for approximately 2 weeks after the final session, after which participants will be able to come pick up their art. Scans and copies of participant's art can be made before it is worked on by another artist upon request to preserve the original artwork.
