[PL-Directors] Request: Creative Aging + Arts Commission

[HANNING Darci * SLO]

Hello everyone, I'm forwarding along this request from the Oregon Arts Commission - please respond directly to Tiff (contact information below). Thank you for your time!

Dear Library Directors,

I am the Arts Education Coordinator for the Oregon Arts Commission, and I'm interested in connecting with libraries that offer arts programs for seniors.

The Arts Commission does not currently have a dedicated program for seniors and want to hear from libraries that do. We are in the process of applying for a Creative Aging<https://lifetimearts.org/why/creative-aging/> grant and want to partner with libraries, arts organizations, and teaching artists for a pilot program between 2026-28.

I know how busy you all are and greatly appreciate your time and consideration.  Please contact me at Tiffany.Harker at biz.oregon.gov<mailto:Tiffany.Harker at biz.oregon.gov>) if your library hosts any arts activities for adults ages 55+. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Tiff
