October Power of Play Signature Event
The Artis Gourd Imagination Lab
🎨 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.
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!

Thursday, November 5
2:00 – 3:00 PM ET/1:00 – 2:00 pm CT
An Artis Virtual Workshop for Families
End of life is something most people don’t want to talk about. We often do not have the proper documents or discussions with our families when they are physically and cognitively able. Join us for an informative program led by End-of-Life Doula Chelsea Duckers about ways to help ensure a dying person’s wishes are honored, and everyone is prepared for the journey.
So much to look forward to – explore our upcoming programs and events, then click to RSVP!

It’s National Physical Therapy Month, and we’re grateful for the hands that keep us moving.
Physical therapists help residents build strength, improve balance, and move through each day with confidence. This work shows up in real moments: finding steady footing on the dance floor, walking to dinner with a friend, gardening, painting, or pursuing a hobby brings them joy.
No matter where our residents are on their journey, physical therapists are there to celebrate the small wins as much as the big ones.

🎩🫖 MAD HATTER MAGIC IS BREWING! 🫖🎩
Today, our residents kicked off the first part of our Mad Hatter Day art project by designing their very own mosaic teapots! A little creativity, a lot of color, and plenty of imagination went into every one.
But we’re not finished yet…
Next week, we’ll add the finishing touch with ceramic teacups and bring the whole whimsical tea party together!
Because at Artis, there’s always room for a little imagination, creativity, and fun.
