SU-CASA is a community arts engagement program that places artists and organizations for residencies at senior centers across the five boroughs of New York City. The program provides selected artists with a stipend in exchange for the creation and delivery of arts programming for older adults. The program has two components:
1) artists engage participating members in an art project or series of cultural programs over the course of the residency, and 2) the residency culminates in a public program component – exhibits, readings, performances, open houses or other cultural interactions open to the surrounding community. The program began as SPARC (Seniors Partnering with Artists Citywide) in 2010 and was developed as part of Age-Friendly NYC, a citywide effort to make the City more livable for older adults.
