Generations Together, Arts and Education Program

The Intergenerational Arts & Education Program (IAEP) uses the skills of the community's senior master artists in schools and other community settings. The IAEP links artists age 50 and older with teachers or community project supervisors to plan and develop art experiences that promote intergenerational relationships as well as an understanding of the artistic process. Artists, representing a variety of visual, literary, and performing arts, work with children and youth in public and private schools and other community settings. IAEP facilitates the sharing of art and cultural heritage between generations, uses the arts to develop meaningful relationships across generations, and strengthens school-community relations.
