Senior Interactive Arts Outreach
Velvaere offers art programs for seniors that help improve cognitive function, reduce feelings of isolation, and enhance emotional well-being. Activities like painting, music, and movement encourage connection, spark memories, and can bring joy and meaning to their lives, contributing to healthier aging and a sense of purpose.
Transformative Healing Workshops for Foster Youth
Providing creative outlets like dance, music, or writing we believe can help foster children process their emotions, build self-esteem, and foster a sense of belonging. The arts also promote healthy communication and emotional expression, which can be especially healing for children who may have experienced trauma or instability.
Inclusive Arts Access Program
At Velvaere Wellness Center, we believe creativity is for everyone. Our inclusive arts programs make it possible for individuals of all abilities to express themselves, connect with others, and grow through music, writing, and creative expression. With adaptable movement activities and supportive guidance, participants build confidence, strengthen skills, and discover joy in their own unique voices.
“Healing, Growing, and Thriving
Through Creativity”
Velvaere Wellness Cultural Exchange Ensemble
At Velvere Wellness Cultural Exchange Ensemble, we use the arts as a pathway to healing and connection. Through dance, music and performing with cultural collaborations, young adults recovering from trauma find a safe space to express themselves, build resilience, and reclaim their voices. Velvere fosters growth, empowerment, and community across cultures—helping participants create brighter, stronger futures.
Imagination & Movement Outreach (TK-K 4-6yrs)
At Velvaere, we know that for children ages 4–6, creativity is both fun and full of learning. Through storytelling, dance, music, and crafting, little ones get to play, imagine, and express themselves while also building important skills. These activities strengthen coordination, spark language development, and help children learn to share feelings in healthy ways. Most of all, the arts bring joy, confidence, and connection—helping every child discover just how creative and capable they already are.
Culinary Arts
At Velvaere Wellness Center, the culinary arts nurture holistic well-being through creativity, connection, and tradition. Our programs celebrate how food brings people together, blending culture, mindfulness, and joy. Cooking fosters self-expression and community, helping participants connect personal, social, and creative aspects of life. Through meaningful culinary experiences, individuals discover deeper purpose, satisfaction, and wellness.
