On October 11, 2007, Ithaca College inaugurated the Linden Center for Creativity and Aging. The ceremony included remarks by President Peggy R. Williams, Gerontology Institute Director John Krout, School of Music Dean Arthur Ostrander, as well as Jay ’72 and Judith ’73 Linden who established the center through an endowment.
The Linden Center for Creativity and Aging, along with the Gerontology Institute, is featuring a series of artwork created by local artists over the age of 55. Currently featuring its third exhibit named Qulits, these successful shows have brought dozens of people to the college to look at the artwork.
Ithaca College student Kasey Stevenson conducts free art classes for Longview residents. Details from each class (and information on each artwork) can be read on the class' blog.
The Linden Center sponsored a juried student photo exhibit that was featured at the Ithaca College Handwerker Gallery September through November 2007. First, second, and third place winners received cash prizes for their works.
