Description
Program Overview
Inspired Aging is a free multi-session studio art course for adults 55+. Courses are led by a professional teaching artist who utilizes the museum's collection as a stimulus for art-making experiences. Teaching artists guide participants to create artwork that is showcased in a culminating exhibition in the museum's Education Gallery. These courses are designed to offer lifelong learning through the arts and serve older adults who have an interest in exploring creative expression in a social group setting. Courses are free but space is limited, so registration is required.
These free courses are made possible by the generous support of E.A. Michelson Philanthropy, the Tennessee Arts Commission, and the HW Durham Foundation. Many thanks to our partners at Creative Aging and the City of Memphis Parks Senior Centers.
