Celebrating the conclusion of the Vitality Arts Project, held from October 2024 through September 2025, this exhibition showcases artwork created during these workshops for participants ages 55 and older. The program was presented in partnership with FiftyForward and was supported by a Vitality Arts grant from E. A. Michelson Philanthropy and a grant from the West End Home Foundation. FiftyForward, a key Middle Tennessee provider of programs and services for older adults, hosted five of the eight workshops at their locations.
Each workshop comprised eight ninety-minute sessions. Under the guidance of professional teaching artists Alice Aida Ayers (textile art), Amber Lelli (beginner digital), Graeme Morris (advanced digital), and Alison Underwood (acrylic painting), participants learned techniques, explored Frist exhibitions, and created a diverse selection of works while developing community and personal connections.
