Creative Aging Class Series

The Creative Aging series is an art exploration class open to those aged 55+. No prior experience is needed. Participants are asked to commit to all 6 class dates. With Teaching Artist Jessica Held.

The series is designed to encourage participants to learn, create, and experiment together while building social connections through shared creative experiences.

During the first four meetings, participants will explore Suminagashi monotype printmaking and cyanotype photograms. These processes are accessible, flexible, and allow participants to discover new materials and techniques.
The fifth meeting will include an art opening that is open to the public, as well as family members and friends of participants. This celebration will give participants the opportunity to share their work, connect with their community, and experience the joy of seeing their artwork displayed.

Artwork will remain on display until August 27, when participants will gather for a reunion meeting. This final session will provide time to pick up artwork, reconnect with fellow participants, and participate in an art activity.

This class is taught by Teaching Artist Jessica Held, and is supported with grant funding through the IMLS and State Library of Ohio.
