Creative Connections:

Empowering Care Through Art


This 3 hour hands-on workshop, led by Harper Marten with The Arts of Aging, equips participants with practical techniques and tools to use art as a means of fostering connection, self-expression, and independence among older adults, including those living with dementia.  This training supports quality care and innovative practices within assisted living communities. Each participant will create their own original artwork to better understand the power of process-based art. Each participant will walk away with:

  • Ways to engage meaningfully with residents through art
  • Ways encourage experimentation and play
  • Ways to leverage residents strength to promote independence

All art supplies included to ensure a seamless and enriching experience
