Encore Arts provides hands-on art classes that support healthy aging for older adult learners. Classes are based on best practices from our supporter, the E.A. Michelson Philanthropy Vitality Arts program. Our classes let older adults learn a new art form or rekindle artistic interests while developing friendships.
Encore Arts classes are held at partner sites across Camden and South Jersey. We work with you to create a multi-session course in a range of media such as Book Arts, Collage, Painting, Paper Making, Printmaking, Quilting, Textile and Fibrous Material Arts, Watercolors, and more.
Encore Arts is free-of-charge and welcomes new partners! To schedule a class or learn more contact: RCCA-Info@Camden.Rutgers.edu
What to expect:
- A Teaching Artist with at least 3 years’ experience, plus an assistant, travels to your site to teach the course.
- Whenever possible, the program ends with an exhibition of your students’ art!
- Best for groups of 8 to 16. Course schedule determined by your availability. Become a partner!
