ARTmail starts this week in Guilford County! Material Kits (see photos below) have been put together and six sites have lots of excited older adults waiting to get creative! They include four from Adult Center for Enrichment (Bardolph, Caldwell House, Muir's Chapel and River Landing) as well as Friends Homes West and Providence Place. Check back soon to see photos from classes in progress!

ARTmail is a visual arts project which uses partner exchanges and Abstract Expressionism as a means for building skills and increasing socialization. The method allows participants to experiment with materials and learn about artistic tools without the pressure of creating something recognizable. Each partner starts their artwork on the inside surface of a cardboard box. The in-progress artwork is exchanged back-and-forth over an 8 to 10 weeks period.
