For Love & Art primarily serves seniors in senior communities (assisted living, independent living, activity centers, and memory care). Our "Art Angels" use high-quality therapeutic art experiences to bring beauty, joy, and love to people confronted with loneliness, worry, and personal loss.
Aligned with the outreach missions of 30+ partner museums worldwide, we showcase their masterpieces in individual and group settings via in-person and virtual presentations named "Celebrating the Art Experience (CAE)." Using high-quality curated works of art from iconic painters such as van Gogh, Monet, Rembrandt, and more, we engage participants in reflecting, remembering, and sharing their experiences while viewing. Celebrating the Art Experience uniquely entertains, and gives everyone a voice, triggering self-expressions that people are eager to share and others are eager to hear. Tips on art appreciation and some background on the artwork satisfy the curious participants. Celebrating the Art Experience elevates every aspect of quality of life - psychosocially, cognitively, spiritually, and physically. 100% of participants declare our one-hour program "Enriching, engaging, and fun!"
Philosophers muse, 'Beauty will save the world,' and 'Love conquers all.' For those we serve and their caregivers, these words ring true. The transformative power of art brings hope, joy, and healing, inspiring love, optimism, and a brighter tomorrow.
To celebrate art is to celebrate life! It's a joyful, uplifting experience that brings people together and enriches our shared human experience.
Our mission is to bring the art experience to people with limited mobility so they can embrace beauty, joy, and the magic of life through the power of art.
We envision a world where art knows no boundaries. We believe every person is deserving of the transformative power of artistic expression, enriching minds and bodies alike through accessible, regular engagement.
Our context for art is not merely education or aesthetic, rather empathetic engagement, one-on-one personal interaction, through which all participants are known, respected, loved, and honored.
Standing with our colleagues in the National Organization of Arts in Health (NOAH), FOR LOVE & ART® board members, staff, volunteers, and Community Docent Art Angels treat each person with respect and maintain an understanding of individual differences and diversity. We excel at embracing the whole person and celebrate the unique identity of each participant in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
FOR LOVE & ART® promotes inclusion of all individuals to the fullest extent possible, ensuring that every participant is known, respected, acknowledged, and valued.
FOR LOVE & ART® makes the arts accessible to all interested individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, language, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, ability, or socioeconomic status.
FOR LOVE & ART® Non-Discrimination Policy
We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community that respects and values the unique contributions of every individual. Our organization aims to create a safe and welcoming environment for all participants, employees, volunteers, visitors, and beneficiaries. Discrimination in any form undermines our mission of spreading love, joy, and a sense of wellbeing. We strive to ensure equal opportunities and treatment for all, regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws.
