Dear Friend,
I am happy to announce the online application form for SU-CASA 2020 is now live! The application deadline is November 21, 2019 by 5PM EST.
If you are an individual artist interested in designing and carrying out participatory projects that promote the well being of older adults, we encourage you to read the SU-CASA 2020 program guidelines to learn more about the program. Previous experience working with older adults is not required and participating in SU-CASA can be a great introduction to the field of creative aging and working in partnership with senior centers.
Join us at the information session on November 6 at 6:00pm to receive guidance from LMCC staff about the application and have your questions answered. Attendance is recommended, but not required. If you are not able to attend in person, the session will be live streamed on LMCC’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LMCCNYC/.

“I was particularly touched when I saw a mother always bringing her daughter to class and they painted together. (They are both above 60.) The daughter even moved a weekly appointment so that she could come to class with her mother. They both enjoyed learning this new form of art and were great team players!”
– Jade Lam, SU-CASA 2019 Artist
We look forward to seeing you at the information session and please let others know about this opportunity!
Warm regards,
Ana Fiore
