MAP delivers art supplies, instructors and volunteers to local nursing homes and senior activity centers in Austin, Texas. Our goals are to improve the lives of seniors and disabled adults by giving them an outlet for creative expression.
Target demographics:
seniors and disabled adults who reside in nursing homes and assisted living centers; those who attend day programs (Elderhaven & McBeth Recreation) and participants of Alzheimer respite care programs (Mike’s Place & New Connections). Our primary focus is in low-income areas of Austin.
MAP joined the National Guild for Community Arts Education, Dec. 2011

I saw a bumper sticker on a car here in Asheville, NC. Do you have a “branch” here?

No, Sarah Achtemeier moved to Ashville from Austin earlier this year. Sarah was one of our instructors and we truly miss her. Ashville is lucky to have her!
I am starting a mobile art program and would be interestedin any suggestions, advice and resources available. Thank you!
Where are you located? Have you gotten your 501(c)3 yet? I’ll be glad to offer any insight I can to help. – Theresa
