After 35 remarkable years at The Reutlinger, we recently had the honor of celebrating the retirement of our beloved Art Program Director, Betty Rothaus. 💛
Betty’s vision and dedication gave life to our award-winning art program "Discovering the Artist Within," a space where creativity flourishes, confidence grows, and residents of all experience levels feel inspired to explore self-expression. Through her expert guidance and encouragement, residents have discovered new skills and joy in drawing, painting (oil, acrylic, pastel, and watercolor), sculpture and pottery, collage, textiles, jewelry, and mixed media. Annual exhibitions have become cherished moments of celebration, allowing the entire community to share in these incredible accomplishments.
Thank you, Betty, for 35 years of passion, mentorship, and for creating a program that has left a truly lasting impact on our residents, our community, and the arts at The Reutlinger. We wish you a very happy and well-deserved retirement, with heartfelt gratitude from all of us at The Reutlinger and the entire Eskaton organization. 🎨✨
