ROCHESTER — Starting in April, local arts educator, Jennifer Weinert, will lead “Express Your Story,” a free six-session arts program guiding older adults on how to form a unique narrative around a personal experience by using creative tools such as collage, writing, improv and poetry.

Sessions are scheduled from 1:15-3:15 p.m. Mondays, April 8, 15, 22 and 29 and May 6 and 13, at the Fulton County Public Library, 320 W. Seventh St., Rochester, in Meeting Room B. The program is sponsored by the Indiana Arts Commission, along with the Family and Social Services Administration.

Sign up to learn about the history, elements, content, structure and presentation of storytelling. Receive a recording of yourself presenting your story and an invitation to express it at a culminating event.

Weinert is a part of the Indiana Arts Commission’s Lifelong Arts Indiana cohort, trained by Lifetime Arts to facilitate creative experiences for older adults. Her programs invite individuals to explore the creative process through visual, contemplative and spoken art experiences.
