Milwaukee Catholic Home is a proud member of the Intergenerational Creative Trust, an alliance of East Side senior services providers and arts institutions fostering life-long learning through the arts. This May is the Trust’s second annual Flourish Fest, a celebration of creativity and aging. You are invited to experience the groundswell of intergenerational arts programming in Milwaukee. Witness, talk about, and experience the power of real art — all life long!
Events will be hosted at many member sites all month long, including a film screening of “A King in Milwaukee,” featuring Paul Cebar, at Milwaukee Catholic Home on May 29th. Other key events are listed below. For a complete schedule and more information about Flourish Fest and the Creative Trust, please visit creativetrustmke.com.
