An art exhibit celebrating the creative talents of older adults in the SeniorsPlus Opening Minds through Art program will be held from 1-3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22, at SeniorsPlus in Lewiston.

OMA, a unique art program designed for people with dementia, encourages self-expression and connection by focusing on creativity and imagination. Paired with trained volunteers, participants explore their artistic abilities, fostering joy and a sense of purpose through art.

“This exhibit showcases the incredible work of our Lewiston OMA artists and the community support that fuels them,” says Jessica Riseman, head of the education center. “Each piece reflects the individuality and creativity of its creator, and we’re thrilled to share these stories with the community.”

The event is free and open to the public. Friends, family, and community members are encouraged to attend, view the artwork, and enjoy refreshments.

The mission of SeniorsPlus is to enrich the lives of older people and adults with disabilities, their families and communities, and to support them to make informed choices. SeniorsPlus also invites attendees to learn more about our Education Centers across Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford counties. Offering a wide array of classes and workshops, our centers provide older adults and adults with disabilities opportunities to connect, learn, and thrive in a supportive environment.
