Arts & Minds: A Showcase for Creative Aging

Visit Arts & Minds: A Showcase for Creative Aging – and celebrate the human potential for creativity at all ages!

Do you believe older adults are beyond creative self-expression? In fact, our elders are often unbound from the rules that can limit creativity earlier in life. Visit the Arts & Minds Showcase of works by older adults, with and without dementia, in various media: painting, mixed media, collage, poetry, and more – and revitalize your attitude to aging. A short video depicts the benefits to opening the spirit to aesthetic and meaningful self-expression in later life, and tells stories of how elder artists achieve purpose, meaning and self-validation as they are freed to develop artistic skills and capacity.

The Showcase, created by Syracuse Jewish Family Service, is at St. James' Episcopal Church in Skaneateles from March 3 - 31, 2025. Please contact Laura Posecznick at laura.posecznick@gmail.com or call 315-685-7600 if interested in viewing the showcase. Office hours are Monday-Thursday: 9-3pm.

The showcase is made possible through the CNYArts Grants for Regional Arts and Cultural Engagement regrant program andadministered by the New York State Council on the Arts, as well as theAlzheimer’s Foundation of America, Leonard and Irwin Kamp Family Foundation andmany individual donors and corporate sponsors.

Join in a collective “YES” to the full potential of the full-span of human life. Enjoy the art, and participate in creating an aging-friendly community that celebrates the human potential for creativity and unlocks arts and minds at all ages!
