Eye to Eye

ELDERGIVERS eNewsletter Archive
Welcome to our eNewsletter archive!

We launched our first eNewsletter in April 2009 knowing that we wanted to keep sharing information about our community of artists long after the newsletter had been mailed out. This archive is a place where you can read short articles about the Elder Artists in our Art With Elders (AWE) program and the professional artists who work with them.

If you would like to join our eNewsletter mailing list, please sign up below. If you have any suggestions or comments, you can reach us at info@eldergivers.org.
