Our Mission and Vision

Enriching Lives Through Arts & Culture

The Evergreen Art and Culture Association is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors by offering meaningful engagement in arts, culture, and active living.

Inclusion & Accessibility

Our programs break down barriers of mobility, isolation, and language, creating a welcoming home for age-friendly activities that every senior can enjoy.

Fostering Social Connection

We bring seniors together through creativity, physical activity, and recreational programs that nurture friendships, belonging, and emotional well-being.

Promoting Health & Vitality

From gentle physical activities to stimulating cultural workshops, we empower seniors to maintain their independence, energy, and zest for life.

Responding to Post-Pandemic Needs

Recognizing the lasting effects of social distance, we provide opportunities that rebuild human connection and strengthen community bonds.

Inspiring Dignity & Purpose

We believe every senior deserves to age with dignity, joy, and purpose—and we proudly design programs that uplift, empower, and celebrate them.
