This vibrant program is led, developed and facilitated by a volunteer community of adults aged 55+ who are passionate about using art as a tool to foster connection, conversation and wellness.
These thoughtfully designed workshops are available both in-person and virtually to support creative aging and experiential learning opportunities for the 55+ community. Whether you are a new, blossoming or experienced artist, these workshops are great for all levels of experience.
Create & Connect is now offered in-person at local community centres, adult living centres, libraries and long-term care homes throughout Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, or virtually from the comfort of home over Zoom. Past workshops have explored materials and techniques in watercolour, Gelli-Plate printmaking, decoupage, journal binding, and chigiri-e (torn paper) inspired art.
