Art for Seniors

Community Outreach Program for Seniors only, age 55+. 

Each Wednesday WAS-H hosts a free art gathering for Seniors.  Sessions start at 9:30 a.m. and end at noon.  This is a friendly, supportive group for all levels of artists.  Sessions are led by an artist facilitator who provides an image to paint.  Paint along with the class or bring a different project to work on.  Participants bring their own supplies (only water-media, please).  You must register online to participate. During the summertime, this session is often an open studio where there is no artist facilitator, but seniors can come and paint together.

Safety Alert

Individuals attending Senior Classes in-person at the WAS-H facility

should be aware that they must have the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.



When does registration open?  Each Monday registration opens for the following week's class. 

For example, on Monday, March 25, registration opens for the Wednesday, April 3 class. 

What supplies should you bring?  Here is a recommended list of supplies put together by one of our excellent teachers:
