Join the Southern Oregon Guild for a presentation & group discussion on “aging as an artist” led by local Guild artist and Older Adult Behavioral Health Specialist Angela Franklin. We will look at artists throughout history who have lived with serious illness and how this changed their art or creative process. We will also hear personal stories of resiliency from a few of our local elder artists on their journey of aging and overcoming obstacles. Please come to learn and share!
