LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus invites the community to an art exhibit celebrating the creative talents of older adults in the Opening Minds through Art (OMA) program. The event will be held on Friday, November 22, from 1 to 3 p.m. at SeniorsPlus in Lewiston and is open to the public. Friends, family, and community members are encouraged to attend, view the artwork, and enjoy refreshments.

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.”

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.

Join us on November 22 to honor the talents of our OMA artists and learn more about our services. For more information, please contact Jessica or visit Seniorsplus.org.
