    The Monticello-Union Township Public Library is proud to announce that it has received a grant to host creative aging programming for older adults. We are one of 36 libraries to receive training and funding through Lifelong Arts Indiana, a program that promotes arts and creativity services for adults ages 65 and older. We are thrilled to host the Art Harmony: Connecting with Your Loved One Through Art program supported by the Indiana Arts Commission in partnership with the Family and Social Services Administration.

    Embark on a transformative journey with - 'Art Harmony: Connecting with Your Loved One Through Art.' Join us for workshops designed to unite caregivers supporting family members facing cognitive decline. Discover the power of art to forge deeper connections, even if you're not currently a caregiver.

    Immerse yourself in engaging sessions featuring live demonstrations, heartfelt discussions, soothing guided meditation, and an exploration of different art materials each workshop. Leave each session with a new understanding of the life-enriching impact art has on both caregivers and their loved ones. Our program culminates with the creation of a memento to give your loved one, and valuable tips to continue the artistic journey at home.

    Claire Lacy, a third-generation artist and color alchemist with synesthesia, is dedicated to leveraging color to enrich well-being, joy, and communication. Her mission is to empower individuals and communities, fostering meaningful connections with the world. Through her work, she illuminates moments, sparks joy, and leaves a lasting impact.

    With extensive experience honing her craft, Claire holds a BFA in Visual Communications Design from Ball State University and an MFA in Studio Arts from Purdue University. She is also certified as a 100-hour meditation teacher. Notably, she designed and led "Color Alchemy for Everyday Curiosity" for Creative Mornings, captivating over 350 participants. In 2023, she was a member of the Indiana Arts Commission Lifelong Arts Indiana Cohort.

    We are continuing the sessions with two offered in October. The sessions are free to join and supported by a $5,000 grant from the Indiana Arts Commission in partnership with the Family and Social Services Administration. 

    Session dates and times are as follows: 

    October 8th - 10 am
    October 15th - 10 am

    Seating is limited and registration is required. Contact the library at 574-583-2665 or visit our calendar to register for the sessions.
