February 2016 Events in State College, PA: Awaken Your Passion


In February we turn our Alive In All Seasons focus to art and invite you to awaken your passion with us. Leo Tolstoy defines the activity of art as “To evoke in oneself a feeling one has experienced, and... then, by means of movements, lines, colors, sounds or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling.”

This month we will transmit our feelings using many different mediums to let other share in our experiences, feelings and passions. We will travel through art around the world and experience art as it is meant to be – inspirational and transformative. We will feel the cool breeze and smell the fragrant blossoms of Monet’s gardens in Giverny, France as we gaze upon In the Garden and the Water Lilies series. We will feel the angst of Vincent Van Gogh as we admire his passionate works such as Vase with Twelve Sunflowers and The Starry Night. We will also pour our passion into our own creations evoking memories of the past to share with the future.

Please join us on this journey as we visit local art museums and create our own art through weekly craft programs. Celebrate with us as we recognize Valentine’s Day with sweets for the sweet and Fat Tuesday foods and fun at our Mardi Gras party.

Our fabulous February 2016 events in State College, PA at Juniper Village at Brookline Senior Living include our:

§  Art Therapy for Seniors informational dinner with Erin Carter featuring our Mardi Gras finest fare will grace the tables with favorites like Creole shrimp and grits and traditional King Cake on February 9th at 5:30 pm. (Please RSVP to 814-235-2041.)

§  Art and Wine Walk to view our All Seasons Gallery—composed of resident and guest local artists—all while sipping local wine and enjoying light refreshments while resident art work will be available for sale at our silent auction with all proceeds to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association on February 9th at 6:30 pm.

§  Sip and Paint event to unleash your inner artist and brush up on your painting techniques during this Happy Valley Sip and Paint event as we’ll relax and unwind with a Big Spring Spirits Distillery signature cocktail and traditional hors d’oeuvres, so create your very own masterpiece on canvas to take home and enjoy on February 19th at 6:00 pm. (Please RSVP to 814-235-2041.)

We look forward to sharing our February 2016 events in State College, PA at Juniper Village at Brookline Senior Living with you as we Awaken Your Passion.
