Each quarter AFE officers send out a Google Form to members (anyone on our email list) the "Elder Profiles" of the quarter, which includes their personal stories, advice, and questions for you.
You can then rank the profiles you would like to make an art piece of and letter in response.
Based on first come first serve and participation in our community service events, you are assigned a profile.
For 3-4 weeks, club you create personalized art pieces inspired by your resident's profile.
Your completed art piece and response letter is dropped off to board members at an assigned date and location on campus.
Board memberes bring your pieces to Atria for the end of quarter Art Show, continuing the cycle of creativity and connection.
