Art Adventures!

“Celebrating Life: an Arts Series” is a program adapted for older adults from Mia’s Art Adventure program, a program designed for school age children. The goals of Celebrating Life are to offer older adults the opportunities to 1) learn about art, 2) establish an emotional connection with art, and 3) find relevance for art in their own lives. Celebrating Life values critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, curiosity, inclusivity and diversity, empathy, respect and kindness, lifelong learning and reflection. Three trained Minneapolis Institute of Art Adventure guides, one of whom is a geriatric social worker experienced in group work, lead two educational sessions using full-color poster reproductions of works of art from Mia’s collections, followed by a visit to Mia to view the real works of art.  Our seniors had an awesome time on their field trip!  Enjoy the pictures below.
