Metlife Foundation Gives Major Grant to Arts Learning

description

Lifetime Arts, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has received a $125,000 grant from MetLife Foundation to pilot an arts education program in three library systems nationwide. The MetLife Foundation Creative Aging Libraries Project will expand its work through partnerships with Boston Public Library, Dallas Public Library and Miami-Dade Public Library. The program places professional teaching artists with workshops in all disciplines where older adults can learn and engage with each other socially. The project builds on Lifetime Arts’ work with public libraries in New York State.
