From ACE/121 in Glendale, CA: Creating a better understanding of ace/121 as a community and growing our intergenerational collaborations are two of our outreach goals. Accordingly, we encourage exhibiting artists (resident and non-resident) to visit the After School Program, operated by the neighboring YMCA, and offer free classes to the participating children. It is a fantastic way for the artists to engage more directly with the ace/121 community and for the kids to feel a connection to the gallery and its exhibitions. In this way, it creates a collaboration between generations, introduces young people to professional working artists, and creates bridges between the diverse spaces in the ace/121 community such as the gallery, residences, and community areas.
EngAGE connects across generations, helping older adults become involved with younger people in their communities as mentors, sages, and neighbors.
