Wabash, IN– Honeywell Arts & Entertainment received $20,000 in grant funding from the Indiana Arts
Commission (IAC) through the Lifelong Arts for Arts Organizations grant program to host programming for older adults, supported by the Indiana Arts Commission in partnership with the Family and Social Services Administration, and made possible by a grant provided by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in partnership with E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.
“We are proud to deepen our work in creative aging thanks to the partnership of the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies, Aroha Philanthropies, and the Family and Social Services Administration,” said Miah Michaelsen, IAC Executive Director. "Meaningful, professional arts experiences are a proven tool to
improve the psychological, physical, and emotional health of older adults, and it is a privilege to work with arts organizations to provide these benefits to Hoosiers.”
Honeywell Arts & Entertainment’s Senior Perspectives: Observational Art Class will offer older adults the
opportunity to engage in three series of 8 weekly art classes, each led by professional artist and teacher
Danielle Winger. Hosted at the local senior center, this program is designed to empower participants to
explore their creativity, build social connections, and culminate in a community art exhibition, fostering
self-expression and active engagement within the community.
Lifelong Arts for Arts Organizations is an expansion of the IAC’s portfolio of opportunities for the state’s
older adults. The program joins existing programs for artists and aging services providers in partnership
with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.
More details and registration information for Senior Perspectives: Observational Art Class are coming
soon and will be available at honeywellarts.org.
