Program Description


"Recent research shows that new brain cells keep developing throughout our lifespan if we stretch ourselves by getting involved in activities new to us, such as exploring new creative and artistic skills. In response, a citywide program of workshops and classes was launched...to inspire and encourage adults 50 years old and better to get involved in the arts."
