Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Engage and teach the resident of two senior facilities with a 3-day camp resulting with the work being displayed at each facility and a library reception

Measurable Outcome(s)

Two senior facilities had a 3-day camp resulting with the work being displayed. The artist did a workshop in collage for residents at Highview Hills Sr Living Community where we experienced enthusiastic participation and much appreciation from the seniors and the storytelling residency at the Farmington Senior Center where residents shaped their life experiences with the storytelling techniques they learned which brought a full range of emotions and shared commonalities with the participants.
