Creative Connections
The Creative Connections program invites older adults to experience the joy, fulfillment, and connection to others that comes from engaging in the arts.
Research has demonstrated that arts and creativity-focused activities promote healthy aging. Participation in the arts has been shown to lower the risk of the onset of dementia, decrease perceptions of pain, help relieve stress, and improve mood. Additionally, participating in the arts decreases social isolation and provides meaning and purpose as individuals have a need to engage in self-expression.
Collaborations with nonprofit partners and professional artists make Creative Connections accessible to adults age 60+ in Forsyth County. Engage through in-person classes at the Intergenerational Center for Arts & Wellness.
Creative Connections activities are offered to you at little or no cost. Your voluntary contribution will help ensure and strengthen our capacity to provide future classes and activities. Donations can be made online by clicking here.
