Creative Expression: Art from the Heart

The “Creating Art from the Heart” show at the Potrero Heights Park Community & Senior Center in Montebello was a resounding success, showcasing the vibrant creativity of our community.

Held on Wednesday, June 26, the event highlighted the impressive work of students from both beginner and intermediate “Drawing & Painting” classes.

The exhibition featured a rich tapestry of artworks, from developmental pieces and works-in-progress to completed masterpieces. This diverse array of art not only demonstrated the range of techniques and media explored by the artists but also emphasized the power of creativity in personal expression.

Research from the National Institute on Aging underscores the positive impact of engaging in the arts, noting benefits such as improved health, well-being, and independence for older adults.

The “Creating Art from the Heart” show truly embodied this spirit, offering a platform for participants to share their unique perspectives and connect with one another through their work. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a memorable celebration of art and community.
