🌿 Legacy Through Art

Roots & Brushes is a reflective art experience designed for older adults to explore personal legacy, creativity, and community connection through hands-on activities.

Centered around the legacy tree symbol, this program honors the stories, wisdom, and values that elders carry.

Seniors engage in meaningful art with affirmation banners, each inspired by prompts like:
“What do I want to pass on?”
“What have I carried since childhood?”
“What advice would I give a young artist?”

These activities are joyful, accessible, and dignifying — with time for quiet reflection and optional sharing.
