The ADC ‘s series of art exhibits will help to build a bridge between local artists and the day center making use of the center’s expansive wall space. Future exhibitions include a collection of art created by members of the center and their families. This exhibition will open in late spring. Executive Director Jeff Macaulay comments “There’s a real interest and commitment from artists who want to inspire and comfort older adults and their family members who are selflessly engaged in caring for their loved ones.” We are looking forward to providing an alternative venue for these artists.

Each year, many frail and disabled elderly are institutionalized prematurely or unnecessarily due to the lack of affordable quality care in our community.
