The FirstOntario Arts Centre Milton is starting a free art program called the Milton Veteran Creative Exchange – Empowering Generations Through Art. This intergenerational arts program is open to veterans, adults 55+, and preschoolers. Each week, a preschooler will be paired with a veteran or an older adult to participate in art activities and enjoy a snack together.
The program begins on Tuesday, May 28th, and will run every Tuesday at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 136, located at 21 Charles Street in Milton. Registration is available online.
Participants can register individually and will be matched with a preschooler or senior. If participants prefer to choose their partner, they can email arts@milton.ca after both parties have registered.
In 2023, the FirstOntario Arts Centre Milton ran a similar program called the Milton Generations Creative Exchange. This program took place in the spring and had a three-week display in the summer. This year's program will run throughout the year in three seasonal installments: spring, summer, and fall. In November, there will be a special month-long gallery exhibition at the FirstOntario Arts Centre’s Holcim Gallery where participants' artworks will be displayed.
The Milton Veteran Creative Exchange program is hosted by The FirstOntario Arts Centre Milton in collaboration with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 136. This project is funded by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP), which supports community-based projects designed by seniors for seniors.
