“Art in the Park” with the 555 Seniors

Throughout the pandemic, the "555" seniors group has continued to meet at Four Corners Park (across the street from Emmaus House), under the direction of Columbus Ward. On Thursdays, Emmaus House hosts "Art in the Park," art instruction and a space for "555" men and women to get creative and enjoy lively conversation.

Ann Fowler, our Director of Education Services, leads "Art in the Park" and says that one of the highlights of her week is teaching art to the 555 seniors. One of the projects was painting icons of "Mother of the Streets" and Ethiopian versions of the crucifixion and Mary and Jesus. Take a look at the artists' latest creations!
