SUMMARY:Mid-Town Social
DESCRIPTION:Mid-Town Social focuses on social wellness for people living with dementia and their care partners. This series offers opportunities to build meaningful connections through shared creative and social experiences. \nIn this session\, art educator Jano Cortijo will guide us through an exploration of nature in art\, with a focus on fruit as a subject. Often the stars of still life paintings\, fruits carry a wide range of symbolism and meaning. Together\, we’ll explore artworks that feature fruit and create our own pieces inspired by their forms and colours. \nAbout the Facilitator:\nJano Cortijo is an arts educator who engages audiences of all ages\, abilities\, and backgrounds in museums\, classrooms\, community centres\, and online spaces. His practice highlights artists and artworks often excluded from mainstream conversations\, encouraging participants to connect their own histories and stories with the art they encounter. \nFollowing the art activity\, participants are invited to share a meal together to continue the conversation and connection. \nImage caption: \nFrancisco Oller\, Guanabanas\, 1948\nOil on canvas\, 18 x 37 inches
