Senior to Senior Art | Valley Art Center

Senior Art Program

Since 2015, Valley Art Center has been bringing the joy of art making to senior citizens who cannot conveniently travel to the VAC campus. Every 2 weeks, residents at Hamlet Village look forward to art classes led by Valley Art Center instructor Jessica Goggins. Lessons are tailored especially to the needs of the residents, as accommodations are made for vision, hearing, fine motor and memory challenges. Students enjoy camaraderie plus the many benefits that creativity has to offer to older adults while facility staff praise the visibly beneficial results this program provides residents.
