🎨✨ Investing in creativity, connection, and lifelong learning for seniors across the Mid-Ohio Valley! ✨🎨
Artsbridge is proud to partner with the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation in administering the Senior Arts Fund – Ausenheimer Memorial, established through the estate of Marie Ausenheimer to support arts experiences that enrich the lives of local senior citizens.
This funding cycle, grants were awarded to:
🎭 Waverly Activity Center for hands-on creative workshops through Creative Connections: Expanding Senior Arts Access
🎶 The O'Neill Center for a live Elvis tribute performance as part of its America 250 celebration
🤠 Belpre Senior Center for its annual Wild West Murder Mystery Dinner and a trip to see Elijah: Prophet of Fire at Ohio Star Theater
🎨 Williamstown Library/Parkersburg & Wood County Public Library for watercolor, acrylic painting, and wooden bird painting classes
🖌️ Parkersburg Art Center for Senior Arts Day and its Senior Art Exhibit events
🏛️ Marietta College Institute for Learning in Retirement for a visual arts course exploring historic styles, eras, and master artists
🇺🇸 Artsbridge for Veterans Day community art signs honoring local veterans
Together, these projects are creating opportunities for older adults to learn, create, connect, and experience the arts in meaningful ways throughout our region.
The next round of funding will become available in the fall on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage senior centers, libraries, arts organizations, and community groups offering arts programming for seniors to reach out and learn more about future funding opportunities.
❤️ Thank you to the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation and the generosity of Marie Ausenheimer's legacy for making these experiences possible. ... See MoreSee Less
