"2020 has been a year of loss and tragedy. Hospitals have been an epicenter of grief. But, despite the trauma of the year, hospitals have also been a place of hope and resiliency. And the arts have contributed to this uplifting narrative. Whether it be consuming or making art, the creative process makes us feel alive, connected and joyful".
Acting Our Age is proud of what we've been able to accomplish in 2020. We are thankful to our partners and funders who have, and continue, to believe in our mission of offering themed art-making Surprise Boxes to residents in long-term care, isolated older adults, and older adults with Alzheimer's or related dementias.
