CALLING ALL ARTISTS, PAINT-BY-NUMBER ENTHUSIASTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF ALL AGES...amateurs and professionals wanted! The Chaffee Art Center, Your Center for Creativity, is getting ready for "Connections"...An intergenerational Exhibit that Opens Saturday, July 27th, 2-4pm with a Garden Party! Thanks to our Sponsor: Southwestern Vermont Council on Aging We are excited as this is an exhibit about connection and we want YOU to be a part of it! Connections across the ages build stronger communities. Storytelling across generations reinforces cultures, allows stories to live on, preserves stories and histories, opens up community narratives. Did you know that 92% of Americans believe that art helps with the feeling of loneliness and isolation across age groups?!
