What Can Purple Art Provide for Your Community?
COMBAT LONELINESS & ISOLATION.
Growing older is a challenge physically, but loneliness and isolation are the real enemies of aging. How can we as families, caregivers and communities confront these challenges?
​
COMMUNITY & CONNECTION.
According to a Journal of Aging study there are six features of successful aging: a sense of purpose, interactions with others, personal growth, self-acceptance, autonomy, and health. We see our artists develop problem-solving skills, motivation, confidence and joy! Our encouragement and the accolades of peers foster excitement and anticipation for our classes. We always encourage staff to join the party! And our sessions are carefully tailored to each community and its participants.
​
DIGNITY & FUN!
As program facilitators, we encourage with lighthearted enthusiasm. We don't push or judge. We know how to ask the questions that can bring out stories and feelings. It's not about painting a mountain, it's about painting a feeling or a mood. It's about color and movement. We talk about famous artists, and emulate their work. We try new things! We get excited, and our artists can feel it.​​
“What a revelation that I can express my feelings with shapes and colors rather than words. It is so liberating to be able to put my strong feelings on paper.”
~ John, client
I cannot express enough how transformative Purple Art has been for my residents at Hilltop Reserve. Each session is a journey of joy and creativity, where barriers fade away and smiles light up the room. The gentle guidance of the instructors creates a nurturing environment, allowing participants to explore their imagination freely. My residents , who often struggle with communication, have found a new way to express themselves through colors and shapes. It’s incredible to witness the moments of connection and laughter as they engage with the materials and the other participants. This class is not just about art; it’s about creating meaningful experiences and fostering a sense of belonging. Thank you for this beautiful gift of creativity and connection!"
