CEYA's Mission

The IOA Center for Elders and Youth in the Arts (CEYA) provides specialized visual and performing arts programming tailored to the Bay Area older adult population. In addition, many projects are done in collaboration with youth and youth organizations. Since 1996 thousands of elders and hundreds of youth have benefited from our program. Annual CEYA events and exhibitions have brought the resulting work to the greater community, reaching over 4000 viewers per year.

Custom Art Programming

For older adult groups, CEYA customizes programs for assisted living, residential communities, adult day programs, and other senior sites, as well as offering individual instruction in the home. Through creative expression, CEYA helps elders remain connected to the community with the goal of helping them experience improved physical and emotional well-being.
