From dream catchers to drawings, each piece personifies a resident’s experience and an outpouring of creativity.
The free program, supported in part by the Haverhill Cultural Council, also features live musical performances by residents accompanied by Music Therapist Eunice Wong.
The event takes place Thursday, Aug. 12, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., outdoors in the courtyard at the Phoenix Row apartments, 22 Phoenix Row, Haverhill. Light refreshments will be available including complimentary Kona Ice for seniors and children under the age of 8.
