FINE ART, SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY PROGRAM


Our Fine Art program includes all the materials, saving you time and money. Our professional teaching in easy to follow steps will help you bring quality life enrichment to your programing. This inclusive program is created for the challenges we face as older adults. Whether a resident is experiencing life changes in memory care or is a retired artist in independent living, this program is designed to meet the needs of all levels of ability. We are looking forward to working with you in the creative, fun and rewarding times ahead!

We are the Community Studio. We give creative instruction to adults who have chosen a retirement housing lifestyle, those in rehabilitation and those who reside in an assisted living environment. During these Corona Virus times, we have also committed to safety protocols. We are fully vaccinated with booster with dated card for location files and adhere to location mandates of masking, social distancing and testing.

Our program is designed to promote education, accomplishment, self worth and socialization.. 

The human need to create and communicate are a part of a healthy and happy life. We work to enhance the lives that we serve. 

Classes are made to be to be enjoyed by older adults at every skill level and abilities including memory care, rehabilitation centers, assisted living and independent living. We offer a wide variety of media such as painting, drawing, clay and printmaking.
