Art Alive Programming I use PowerPoint (color digital slides) for slide programs presented to residents of independent living, assisted living, memory care communities, and attendees at retirement social centers, private clubs, and park districts.
Presented as a refreshing series of personalized programs tailored for individual retirement communities, for 60 minutes plus, I weave stories on art, the lives of artists, and their art narrated with a lively commentary. I also have programs to share on botanic gardens, and palaces.
The presentations stimulate and invigorate the mind, soothe and refresh the soul.
At the conclusion of each presentation, we have Q&A, where the attendees are encouraged to speak with one another, sharing their interests and memories of art and museums and the beautiful.
