Quote from Liv: “I’m excited to join the EngAGE team and look forward to sharing my access to the local artistic community with the residents of Crescent Park! I hope to spark some reciprocal and energizing conversations around creativity and aging while, as always, building my network of folks with whom I can share joy.”
