Calling all Ol der Adult artists: we need you to help us fill our gallery space with your art...with a twist! The art you make will be built upon and crea ted with Tweens contributing their work from our Eastside Branch. Here is what we have planned for each week in the series: \;
\nW eek 1 (Wednesday\, October 14): Using watercolour\, and/or acryli c paint\, program attendees will create their own work of art. Once comple ted and dried\, it will be sent to the Tweens working in tandem at the Eas tside Branch. While Older Adults in this program complete their paintings\ , Tweens at the Eastside branch will be creating art for Older Adults to b uild upon in Week 2. \;
\nWeek 2 (Wednesday\, October 21 ): Program attendees will receive a work of art made by a Tween a t the Eastside program\, upon which they can begin to create a collaborati ve work of art. Simultaneously\, the art Older Adults in this program crea ted during Week 1\, will be collaboratively built on by the Tweens at East side. The artists will remain anonymous to both sets of program attendees\ , whose identity will only be revealed in the final installment of the pro gram series\, the gallery opening. \;
\nWeek 3 (Wednesda y\, November 4th): We'll showcase all of the collaborative art du ring an intergenerational gallery exhibit opening reception with friends\, caregivers\, and family all welcome\, held at the John M. Harper branch. This will be a drop-in program that members of the general public will be able to attend. It will take place from 7:00-8:00pm in the John M. Harper Branch Program Room (registration not required).
\nFinal art pieces from the program will be on display in the Program Room at the John M.
