ArtMoves
Community Educational Outreach |
| |
ArtMoves is a gallery educational outreach program bringing arts, arts education, and arts therapy to communities and audiences not having ready access to the arts. An objective of this new program is to expand services to people in health care, retirement, and corrections facilities. ArtMoves delivers off-site image and object presentations with interactive discussions focusing on Robeson Gallery–organized exhibitions. The program also provides art-making workshops at no cost to participants.
In its first year, ArtMoves developed partnerships with Newark Beth Israel Medical Center’s Adult Day Health Care Center and the Essex County Juvenile Detention Center. Client communities include senior citizens who may have limited mobility, but who retain an interest in the arts and continue to benefit from visual and intellectual experience. At the Detention Center, our clients are young men and women who benefit from exposure to cultural experiences with which they may be unfamiliar and to modes of critical thinking, which can help them better negotiate their relationship to society.
New Jersey artists are employed and trained to conduct talks and art-making workshops. Artists work closely with
facility therapists and activities coordinators to plan workshops that are meaningful and life enriching, as well as educational
and therapeutic. |
