Colorful Expressions: A Showcase for Creative Aging

Visit Colorful Expressions: A Showcase for Creative Aging – and celebrate the human potential for creativity at all ages!

The showcase features the artists of Syracuse Jewish Family Service’s arts-in-aging and arts-in-dementia programs including OMA — Opening Minds Through Art and the M-Power U Arts & Minds Community. Enjoy the many exceptional pieces they have created over the past year in various media: painting, mixed media, collage, poetry, and more! This past year our artists expressed themselves through playful experimentation with color, exploring emotion, imagination, and creative freedom.

Curated by Syracuse Jewish Family Service, artwork from Colorful Expressions will be in the Jewish Home Gallery corridor and Bistro at Menorah Park of CNY from March - April 2026. Join us for a free opening reception on Tuesday March 10th from 3:30-5:00pm in the Bistro at Menorah Park.

The showcase is made possible through the CNY Arts Grants for Regional Arts and Cultural Engagement regrant program, as well as the Lillian Slutzker Family Foundation, Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, the Leonard and Irwin Kamp Family Foundation and many individual donors and corporate sponsors.

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!
