Creative Endeavours is a new arts engagement project for seniors in Nelson that will feature a series of art-making sessions facilitated by Oxygen Art Centre faculty. Creative Endeavours seeks to connect seniors with practicing arts educators to provide them with creative enrichment at their place of residence. Oxygen is partnering with Kootenay Seniors and Mountain Lake Seniors Community who will host the sessions this Fall at their senior’s facilities.
This project is generously funded by an Osprey Foundation Sheba Seniors Grant and focuses on strengthening and building community and enhancing well-being through participatory artmaking. Creative Endeavors aims to bring senior residents of our community together to embrace a shared goal while fostering both individual and collective creativity and growth.
The Kootenay Seniors will be offering a Letter Writing workshop with writer and poet Rayya Liebich on November 19, 2024 at Lakeside Place, 805 Nelson Ave. Nelson. Participation is free, but pre-registration is required. To register call 250-352-2708 or email: info@kootenayseniors.ca
