SENIORS
Art and music have been demonstrated to have healing effects on those with age-related illnesses such as dementia and stroke. When it comes to wellness and stress-reduction, seniors are often the most underserved population. RLA has worked with a number of senior care centers to provide much-needed companionship, creative exploration, and mindfulness to elderly and disabled populations.

Art and creativity play a crucial role in the emotional and mental development of children. Some studies have even shown that some skills that may take several thousand repetitions to learn only take 15-20 repetitions when learned through play. Red Lotus Arts offers creative exploration and development for school-aged children and supplies them with the lifelong benefits of art-based mindfulness. Through art confidence is built. We explore through experimentation with drawing, painting and mixed media collage
