Congratulations to our own Kate Powell - she is in the newest class of @InsideBusiness #Top40Under40! Our Program Director, Ashley Carroll, nominated her and we are so proud to have them both on the team! https://t.co/jjSxX0kCO8

We love harpist Karen Stowe - she is completely sold out to this mission and the healing power of the arts.

We're sharing one of her latest program stories today - it's a bit long for Twitter, but you can find it on our blog (yes, we have a blog!).

#FrameNotFridge

That's our new catchphrase around here - the creations our visual arts artists teach you to make in a program are good enough to frame and keep forever! Check out this jellyfish resin beauty by Beach Crafts by Heather at Acclaim East Beach!

Speaking of our @jaesinnett Trio concert - never engage in a dance battle with someone from the boogie generation. You will lose. #katelearnedherlesson #funnyfriday

[ArtsConnect Virginia @artsconnectva]

Your support (along with sponsors like Oast & Taylor) lets us treat our partners every once in a while - like bringing in the @jaesinnett Trio to the Portsmouth Senior Station for instance!

[ArtsConnect Virginia @artsconnectva]

We can't thank you enough for an AMAZING #Give65! We almost maxed our matching dollars and raised over $11,000! Thank you @HICharitiesUS!

[ArtsConnect Virginia @artsconnectva]

We recently acquired an AMAZING amount of yarn and thread from @CaringTransCorp South Hampton Roads so we're taking our affectionately named "Ye Olde Yarn Shoppe" out there to supply sewing and knitting clubs for older adults all over! #artsupplydonation #partnerlove

[ArtsConnect Virginia @artsconnectva]

Our Program staff - Georgie and Ashley - are the fearless leaders behind the program success at TAO. We love them and their heart for the adults we serve!

P.S. If you want a solid teambuilding win, try @boardandbrushcs Norfolk!

The talented BYOB Creative Connections turned the @NorfPublicLib's idea for a "seashell wind chime" into a stunning reality last weekend. This is what it's all about - a partner has a dream and the TAO artist gives the dream life! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

If you serve older adults, you should call us. #LetsPartner

(Also...is there anything more satisfying than a paint pour??)

[ArtsConnect Virginia @artsconnectva]

This is Mike, and he was able to create this bowl and enter it into the PrimePlus 2022 ArtFest through a sponsorship from TAO! Just another example of how your #generosity becomes the healing power of the arts in all kinds of creative ways.

We're a month away from the kickoff of this year's Give65 annual online crowd-fundraising event. Be sure to mark July 12-15 in your calendars - your support during this event will help aging adults in need across the country!

[ArtsConnect Virginia @artsconnectva]

#SavetheDate!

@HICharitiesUS will support TAO again this year during #Give65 - 65 hours of giving to support older adults! You can get involved with your gifts between July 12-14 and even get your gift matched!
