Creative Aging is a state-wide program intended to build opportunities for New Jersey senior citizens to engage in creative aging activities, develop artistic skills and techniques, and to deepen community social engagement. Its mission is to turn on its head the prevailing view that older people are a burden on society and to promote an understanding that they are, in fact, valuable and important assets to be placed at the very heart of the community.

March 22nd | 2:30 - 3:30 pm The Hopewell Train Station 2 Railroad Place, Hopewell, NJ 08525 What does President Nixon have to do with the popularity of this ancient medical model?

Wednesdays from April 5th - May 24th | 2:00 - 3:30 pm The Hopewell Train Station 2 Railroad Place, Hopewell, NJ 08525 Those who attended Jim's previous classes will know how much fun they were. With Jim's guidance the class was able to produce pieces way beyond our initial skill sets! This is a commitment of 8 consecutive weeks (the hope is that participants will attend at least 6 of the classes). Patrons who attended the previous Ceramics class are eligible to apply. Register here! Tuesdays 4/11 - 5/20: Seeing Red: Exploring Color with Karen McLean
Tuesdays from April 11th - May 30th Karen McLean's Studio 14 Mercer Street, Hopewell, NJ 08525 During the residency, Karen will teach about the elements of color. Participants will explore the use of color, observe the use of color by different artists (such as Matisse) and complete exercises which reflect the observations. Participants will develop their own flair with exercises completed over the 8 week period. All materials will be supplied. Because the skills taught are sequential, this is a commitment of 8 consecutive weeks; the hope is that participants will attend at least 6 of the classes. You need bring nothing but your enthusiasm! This class is already at capacity, but you can still register here for the wait list! thursday 4/13 & 4/27: Genealogy
Who do you think you are?! Who doesn’t want to know more about their own family history? Join us as we investigate ways (other than Ancestry) to discover those who came before us. Casey Wilkes will guide us through databases - with tips and tricks to save hours when looking for the people from our past. This event has limited capacity, so register here soon! wednesday 5/31: geocaching
Wednesday, May 31st | 2:00 pm The Hopewell Public Library 13 East Broad Street, Hopewell, NJ 08525 What is Geocaching? Isn’t that something only young, “techy types” do? Absolutely not! Geocaching is a modern and fun way to treasure hunt using GPS devices. So, plan to get off the sofa and join us (in hopefully warmer spring weather), for an hour’s easy stroll around 2 sites in Hopewell. We will locate local caches and hopefully plant one of our own. We will meet outside the library at 2pm and be led on our hunt by an intrepid and experienced explorer (who knows way more than we do). So, dress accordingly and bring your mobile phone if you have one. All questions are encouraged and will be answered as we walk. Register here! 
The Hopewell Public Library's Speaker Series (formerly known as "Wednesday Night Out") takes place once each month! Unless otherwise noted, events will take place from 7:00-8:30pm at the Hopewell Theater: 5 South Greenwood Avenue, Hopewell, NJ 08525. Doors open at 6:45pm.
3/21: frida kahlo: dreams, demons, and devotion
Presented by Janet Mandel, Arts Educator Tuesday, March 21st | 7:00pm-8:30pm Frida Kahlo’s paintings illustrate the anguish and passion of a fascinating, complicated personal and artistic life. The astonishing works of this Mexican and feminist icon will be looked at through the lens of her ethnicity, disabilities, and political activism, especially emphasizing her engagement with the natural world. About Our Presenter: Janet Mandel taught in New Jersey’s public schools for 32 years, the last eighteen of which were at Columbia High School in Maplewood, where she taught English, art history, and World Languages and Cultures. Now retired, Janet presents illustrated talks on a variety of art history topics at adult schools, libraries, museums, senior centers, community centers, and similar venues. This event is co-hosted by the Pennington Public Library and the Hopewell Public Library and sponsored by the Friends of the Pennington Public Library. More Ongoing Events!
