Aroha is proud to support creative aging programs at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) as part of the Seeding Vitality Arts Minnesota initiative. This fall, Mia welcomed 12 participants ages 65 years and over to engage in graffiti and street art-making techniques. Participants examined the personal, political and social expressions that are historically part of this modern art form, creating art that expressed their sense of self and identity. Each participant created an individual work and contributed to a collaborative group mural that broke barriers and stereotypes of who “graffiti artists” can be.
