Creative Expressions at the JEA is a 5-week art program designed especially for adults ages 55+ who want to explore creativity in a relaxed, supportive setting. Each week, participants will come together to paint, create, and express themselves—no prior art experience required.

More than just an art class, Creative Expressions is about connection. It’s a chance to slow down, try something new, share stories, and build meaningful relationships through the joy of creativity. Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or returning to a lifelong passion, you’ll find encouragement, fellowship, and a welcoming community at the table.
Come create, connect, and be inspired—together. 🎨✨
