Art inspires us, moves us, and allows us to express ourselves throughout our lives. Artistic style and physical ability may change, but creativity and self-expression remain possible, and the results are often beautiful. The Lehigh Valley Activity Professionals Association has teamed up with ArtsQuest to offer a unique exhibit featuring seniors in aged care throughout the Lehigh Valley. Join us in appreciating the beauty of living a creative life.
Thank you to ArtsQuest Teaching Artist, Katrina Heebner, for facilitating multiple Creative Aging sessions in the community for this exhibition!
