Cedar Mountain Commons Masterpieces and Mimosas Art Show

Embracing a newfound hobby and exploring their artistic abilities, seniors at Cedar Mountain Commons hosted their seventh art show, Masterpieces and Mimosas. After six months of preparation, the seniors were able to display their work on August 16.

Debra Labbe, activities director for Cedar Mountain Commons, encouraged all residents to join the Great Artist program. Not long after, their hard work and talent were on display for friends and family to enjoy.

Labbe introduced the Great Artists program in the spring of 2014. Later that year, the series received the Managed Residential Services Award from the Connecticut Assisted Living Association. The program aims to show that participating in artistic activities can help improve cognitive functions, memory, self-esteem and well-being.
