Drawing Connection: Art Class Unites Formerly Unhoused Men with Case Managers

description

As part of the Vitality Arts Project for Art Museums Initiative, the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) and Catholic Charities Twin Cities Higher Ground campus collaborated on a six-week drawing program this summer for older adult residents. Higher Ground serves men who have struggled with homelessness or housing instability. The residents’ case managers also were participants during this course, which was taught by Lynda Monick-Isenberg, Lifetime Arts Trainer. This article was published by MPR News.
