LEGACY THROUGH ART

LEGACY THROUGH ART

Art Is a Powerful Vehicle for Expression

Legacy Through Art is a community-based, intergenerational program that supports seniors in sharing their life experiences through creative expression. Through visual arts, storytelling, poetry, music, and craft, seniors are supported by trained volunteers and youth collaborators to explore, create, and express their personal and cultural narratives.

The program culminates in a community exhibit or performance that celebrates seniors’ contributions, strengthens social connection, and fosters intergenerational understanding. By positioning seniors as creators and storytellers, Legacy Through Art promotes inclusion, reduces isolation, and affirms that every life carries meaning, creativity, and legacy.

OBJECTIVES

HOW IT WORKS

Artists, elders, and youth meet in guided workshops over several weeks. A culminating exhibit or show celebrates their collective art and honors elder wisdom.
