Art Programming at Quesnel & District Leisure Services, is pleased to announce a new program for seniors – Seniart. This program will run from September 2014 through January 2015, and will provide art sessions for seniors who have experienced barriers to participating in regular programming. The program is absolutely FREE and funded in part by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program and the Northern Health Healthy Community Grant.
Who can participate? Any senior who has found it difficult to join in art sessions previously for any number of reasons. Participants can be individuals or join as part of a group. Sessions will take place at a variety of locations such as Dunrovin, the Seniors Centre, the Friendship Centre, and the Quesnel & District Arts & Recreation Centre’s Studio. Morning and afternoon art program times will be available once participants and spaces are scheduled.
Be part of the art! We are recruiting local artists as lead instructors and members of the community as assistants to the participants. Assistants need no art experience, just a creative, supportive spirit. Both instructors and assistants will be invited to demonstration studio sessions using the materials and techniques involved with their projects. Contact Elizabeth Waldorf, Art Program Coordinator atewaldorf@quesnel.ca or 250-991-4013 to participate.
