The Senior Partnership Initiative/NewCourtland Fellowship celebrates intergenerational artistic achievement by pairing seniors with school-aged children and local artists to produce high-quality collaborative artworks. The program gives a creative voice to older Philadelphians, and aims to:
- Foster positive intergenerational dialogue through hands-on, sequential artmaking workshops
- Stimulate new pathways of learning and expression among older adults
- Promote health and wellness through artistic production, helping to combat predominant issues of isolation and loneliness
- Expose school-aged students to the wisdom and experience of the generations that came before
- Engender a sense of pride within the senior community
