25th Anniversary Lolo Sarnoff

Memorial Tournament

MISSION

• In 2015 Arts for the Aging, Inc. (AFTA) celebrates its 27th year and its 25th annual tennis tournament.

• Founded in 1988 by renowned sculptor Lolo Sarnoff, AFTA brings the arts to older adults, especially those who are frail and vulnerable.

• Workshops are designed to improve mental and physical health, longevity, and overall quality of life.

• AFTA is the D.C. region’s leading arts service organization dedicated to combating isolation and spreading joy to seniors through frequent participation in the arts.

• The program’s multi-disciplinary approach is unique nation-wide.

PROGRAMS

• AFTAwill this year engage over 700 older adults who are mostly frail and vulerable in all manner of weekly and bi-weekly arts programs.

• Workshops take place for groups in adult day centers, community centers, and nursing homes that focus on safety net services for older adults.

• AFTA trains and supports a faculty of professional teaching artists who engage seniors in painting, poetry, live instrumental music, dance, storytelling and more.

• Children take part in intergenerational workshops, learning from the knowledge of their elders, and giving seniors an emotional boost—bridging the ages and creating stronger communities.

SUPPORT

• Gifts to AFTA help to sustain high-quality arts programs that improve the lives of seniors who need it most.

• AFTA is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit, offering most services free of charge; donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
