DISCOVERING THE ARTIST WITHIN

Art Program

The Reutlinger’s award-winning Art Program, “Discovering the Artist Within,” offers residents an opportunity to create art within an inspiring and encouraging atmosphere. Our art program offers older adults powerful cognitive benefits—stimulating creativity, sharpening memory, and maintaining fine motor skills that support independence. Art provides a meaningful outlet for self-expression, while group classes build friendships and foster community connection. 

Artwork by Residents

An impressionist painting depicts two men and a woman standing by a riverside, watching another man sitting in a yellow rowboat on the water. Additional boats and greenery are visible in the background.
A vibrant painting of a countryside landscape captures the lifestyle of rural serenity with blooming lavender fields, green hills, and a distant village under a bright blue sky. The foreground bursts with colorful wildflowers.
A painting of a sunny field with red poppies, green grass, and scattered trees evokes peace—much like the comfort found in skilled nursing care. Two women, one holding a blue umbrella, and a child stroll along the hillside under a partly cloudy sky.
Abstract painting of a mountain range with blue and green hues, suggesting lush forests in the foreground and mountains in the background under a cloudy sky. Bold brushstrokes create a sense of depth and texture.
A painted landscape featuring rolling fields, a winding path lined with plants, a tree on the left, distant mountains, a body of water, and a gate leading to a building on a sunlit hillside under a blue sky.
A group of elderly women are seated around a large table, enhancing their resident experience as they engage in a crafting activity with paper. The bright room, filled with natural light, is decorated with colorful art and flowers.

Our Art Program Director offers residents individual guidance in bringing their unique vision to life. Within a beautiful fine arts studio, residents who have never created art before, as well as experienced artists, enjoy learning new skills and expressing themselves. Exhibitions each year provide a joyous sharing of our residents’ accomplishments with the entire community. 

The Reutlinger artists explore many mediums including, drawing, painting (in oil, acrylic, pastels or watercolor), sculpting and pottery in clay, collage, textiles, jewelry and mixed media. 

Framed artwork hangs in a well-lit hallway gallery. Each piece is accompanied by a printed description or biography below, displayed in a single row along the white wall.
