Carpe Diem Arts builds cross-cultural and multi-generational community through shared artistic experiences, inspiring us to create the change we want to see in the world. Starting in preschool, young children in under-resourced communities develop new skills through arts enrichment programs. Older students practice new art forms after school and connect the arts with relevant social issues during summer camps. Across Montgomery County, ukulele lessons in schools inspire budding musicians; creative programs in senior centers engage older adults and foster social connection; and community dances offer residents of all ages a space to celebrate. Since launching a virtual lunchtime singalong as an antidote to isolation during the pandemic, Carpe Diem Arts has hosted it for over 1,400 consecutive days, leading one participant to describe it as “a roomful of new friends.”
