SUMMARY:Plein Air 101
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, May 15 \, 7:00-8:30pm for Plein Air 101 at the Wellesley Free Library  \n  \nAs the weather warms\, and summer travel plans are in the works\, many people are inspired to get back outside to observe\, sketch and paint. For some\, plein air painting can be challenging without the usual studio conveniences\, but the benefits of painting from life can be quite surprising. Artist Dan Schultz shares some thoughts on how plein air can help your painting practice. So in hopes of inspiring people to venture out to paint from life\, the WSA is having a program on May 15 at 7:00pm at the Wellesley Free Library to help simplify the plein air process. Come learn from fellow members and or share your experiences about the various artist kits for watercolor\, oil\, acrylic and pastel\, and see how to tackle this practice. This evening is also a wonderful opportunity to come meet and chat with WSA members. Join us for light refreshments beginning at 6:45pm.  \nWSA Members: Mai Mai Pietrowski\, Joanna Dole\, Nancy Present Van Broekhoven and Mark Richards will share their experiences and address some of these questions: \n\nHow do you get organized for plein air painting?\nWhat supplies do you put in your “box” and why?\nHow do you set up everything and how do you find a perfect spot?\nWhat is the best time to paint outside for you and why?\nWhat are tips and tricks you have learned?\nWhy do you love it so much?

SUMMARY:How Creative Expression Can Benefit Older Adults with Raquel Stephenson
DESCRIPTION: \nThe Wellesley Society of Artists in partnership with the Wellesley Free Library invite you to come learn “How Creative Expression Can Benefit Older Adults” on October 15th at 7:00-8:00pm at the Wellesley Free Library in the Wakelin Room. Please join us for light refreshments and conversation beginning at 6:30pm. This program is sponsored in part by a grant from the Wellesley Cultural Council\, and is free and open to the public. \n \nThe journey of aging can be our most creative chapter yet—full of expression\, connection\, and growth. Through the inspiring stories of three older artists\, we’ll see how making art can support healthy and meaningful aging. Together\, we’ll look at the joy and vitality that come from lifelong artistic expression\, especially in our later years. We’ll also reflect on how aging and the arts influence each other—revealing the powerful\, uplifting role that creative expression can play throughout our lives. \n \nRaquel Chapin Stephenson\, PhD\, ATR-BC\, LCAT\nDr. Stephenson is a Professor of Art Therapy at Lesley University and Founder of Creative Aging Solutions. Her practice\, research and scholarship are at the intersection of aging and creativity\, including her book Art Therapy and Creative Aging: Reclaiming Elderhood\, Health and Wellbeing. She was co-founder and teaching artist for the Creative Approaches to Healthy Aging program\, funded by two NEA ArtWorks Grants\, and founded New York University’s Creative Aging Therapeutic Services. She serves on boards and advisory committees for several arts organizations.\n \n \n \n \nMany thanks to the Wellesley Cultural Council
