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 (Circle of Friends, St Thomas More Catholic Church, Mike’s Place & New Connections). Our primary focus is in low-income areas of Austin.
The Grassroots campaign has raised $750, which will allow the Mobile Art Program to visit seniors and people with disabilities throughout the year, guiding them through art projects. THANK YOU to everyone who contributed!
