Seniors Social: Inspired by Arnold Newman

Make new artistic connections and spark conversations! Join us for our Seniors Social program, a monthly workshop series for older adults that combines conversations with art and artmaking. The AGO believes providing opportunities to experience art and artmaking increases well-being. 

Arnold Newman's rise to fame came about largely because of the commissions he received from magazines. In this session, we’ll explore the power of black and white portraiture, and Newman's particular "environmental" approach to capturing the essence of his subjects.

Art as Therapy: Painting to Music

Join us for a guided sensory journey where your creativity can flow. Allow your hand movements to be inspired by rhythm and music, translated through the playfulness of watercolours and other paints. No previous art experience is needed, all you need is an open mind and the enthusiasm to play with colour! 

Art as Therapy: Inspired by Keith Haring

Beginning with an exploration of Keith Haring's vibrant colour, energetic linework, and iconic characters, participants will be invited to create large, colourful images together. This workshop provides the experience of making art in community and finding joy in creating. No previous art experience is needed, we will focus on the creative process, getting curious, and celebrating making art with others. 

Art as Therapy: Mark-Making for Wellbeing

Get curious with movement and mark-making! Participants will be provided an abundance of colourful art materials and then guided through a variety of therapeutic scribbling invitations. This playful practice can help us focus on the present moment, harness intuition, and regulate our nervous systems. Drawing will be welcomed on paper fixed to a table or the floor.
