We're so proud of our resident artists whose collaborations were celebrated at the Schack Art Center Garden Soirée!
"Ode To Frida's Garden" celebrates creativity, connection, and shared expression. Each flower was lovingly painted by a resident, showcasing individual style, perspective, and joy in the creative process. Julia Goldie (Life Enrichment Director) painted Frida and arranged the floral pieces into a unified composition.
"Garden of Youth" brought each artist's perspective, energy, and technique to the collective process, resulting in pieces that are both deeply personal and beautifully unified. Julia arranged the forms and created the background. The garden symbolizes renewal, growth, and the enduring spirit of imagination, reminding us that the creative spark only deepens with age.
