The TIME FRAMES PROGRAM is a brand new 10 
week long program that provides a vehicle for adults 
55 and older with disabilities and seniors to express 
themselves through community based arts programs 
that will also addresses various issues facing the 
communities they live within. In effect this program is 
a community development program for under served 
communities that taps into the lived experiences of 
community elders. There will also be an inter 
generational component in the program in which 
elders and youth collaborate on a community based 
art project to address identified needs or issues 
within a community. The program is structured 
around three components that explore the past, 
present and future.
