\n Creating days filled with engagement, purpose, and delight.\n <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We ask a lot of questions at Artis \u2013 and our genuine curiosity helps us do what we do best. The more we know about our residents, the better we can empower them to live more joyfully and with autonomy.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

October Power of Play Signature Event   <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Artis Gourd Imagination Lab <\/strong>   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfa8 Creativity lives in the senses. By exploring texture, shape, color, and sound, we light up multiple pathways in the brain, each a new doorway to expression and connection.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us in celebrating the humble, wonderfully weird decorative gourd. Wrap them in ribbon, turn them into shakers, sort them by size, or help build a gourd village. However you participate, you belong at the table! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the Calendar for Event Details or click above to call and RSVP. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
