a reminder that it’s beautiful to bloom a little differently.

We are so grateful to RISCA- the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts for inviting Hattie Ide Chaffee to table at Arts Day at the State House! 🎨✨

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with Rhode Island legislators and share how the arts are at the heart of what we do. Through our Arts Academy programming, we see every day how creativity enriches the lives of our residents- supporting healthy aging, easing loneliness, and bringing joy and vibrancy to our community.

And what a special surprise to see our very own East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva at the event! It was also wonderful to see Providence Mayor Brett Smiley there as well- so great to have such supportive local leaders celebrating the arts at the State House! 💙

It was also so exciting to spot some familiar faces- our very own artists Cathren Housley and Rachel Balaban were there representing the best of what the arts community has to offer. Seeing them out in the world doing what they love made the day even more special! 🌟

RISCA’s work makes programs like ours possible, and we are thankful for their continued support in helping us bring the arts home to our residents. 💛

✂️🎨 Creativity was in the room yesterday as we got to work on a fun collaging project! Everyone was sorting through all of the wonderful magazine clippings for their favorite colors and images, to make something unique. We can’t wait to see how this masterpiece comes together- stay tuned! 🌟

🥠✨ One of our Life Enrichment team members, Anthony, cracked open a fortune cookie the other day and found this little gem inside:
“Find joy in the arts through music, dance, or visual arts.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! 🎶🎨💃
It’s something we already know and believe in wholeheartedly here at Hattie Ide Chaffee Home- but hey, now it’s officially backed by a cookie. 🍪😄
Thanks for sharing that one, Anthony! 😊

Four Generations of Love
Wonderful Mark Hawk recently received the most precious of visits- meeting his great-grandson Joseph James (JJ) for the very first time.
Four generations gathered together, a moment that words can barely capture. Mark, his daughter, her son, and now little JJ, all in one room.
These are the moments that remind us why what we do matters so much. Life is rich and life is full!💛
