The Mobile Art Program delivers art activities to seniors and disabled adults living in Austin, Texas. MAP provides people with ways to cope with what is happening in their lives. Art becomes the vehicle for expression, developing relationships, as well as for integrating experiences that may be difficult to understand. Our goals are to improve the lives of seniors and disabled adults by giving them an outlet for creative expression. We restore their self-esteem, build friendships where there was none and increase their cognitive skills leading to stabilization in overall health. We concentrate our efforts in low-income areas of the city.

We are mobile for those who are not. Our staff and volunteers visit nursing homes, Alzheimer respite care centers, senior centers and assisted living facilities. MAP is funded through grants from the City of Austin, A Glimmer of Hope Foundation, the SQLC Foundation, Austin Friends of Folk Art, the Austin Junior Forum, the LCRA Employee fund and by donations. We provide our services free of charge.
