What does Artsy Smartsy offer?

Continuing Education Credits for healthcare workers!

Brain health is so important for our quarantined ageing adults today as is providing meaningful/appropriate social and recreational activities. We will use Creative Ageing history, news and research to help support our need to create appropriate engaging creative programs for our seniors of all ages and abilities. We will look at successfully proven strategies and methods of Creative Ageing training that enlighten brains, create successful communities and build relationships! We will end with success stories of individuals who came back to life through the power of creativity on the brain! This course in creative brain health will teach creative modalities of therapeutic, supportive, social care in LTC, Assisted & Memory Care! 

Audience: Social Workers, Activity Staff, Admin(who sometimes do activities), management, nurses, OT

Artsy Smartsy for Ageing Adults

We specialize in arts kits, virtual art classes and art videos  for active adults but a large portion of our works is dedicated to those suffering from Parkinson’s, Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. This is a growing part of our population and there are very few artists who are trained to serve these populations. We fill that gap! With 11 years of experience, many hours of training under our belts, and 11 years of daily full time experience, we know all of the secrets to working closely with this group! 


Great arts programming for senior communities takes a lot of time! Lesson planning, smart shopping, material prepping, sample making, trial and error, beautiful fliers for marketing, and so much more! Leave it all to us! 

Our professional staff spends dozens of hours each month before we even get to you so that it’s all done RIGHT the first time! All you have to do is relax, and enjoy your residents, you BOTH deserve that!

Not everyone in your building may be an artist, but everyone loves listening to the fun, interesting and sometimes wacky history that we share while we create! It’s like two activities in one!  Our classrooms are sometimes lined with participants just there for the trivia about the technique and famous artists of the day! Van Gogh, Monet, Grandma Moses, O'Keefe...you name it, we have a lesson for it, and our highly animated and entertaining teachers will make this anything BUT a boring art history lesson!

Prices vary depending on if you’d like a custom, one time  event,  or  choose  a consistant  calendar spot  for   6+ or 12+ Monthly Offerings!

Tina did an outstanding zoom presentation for our Memory Cafe and friends.  And everybody had a blast! Their work was gorgeous and they absolutely loved the experience.

Artsy Smartsy is great. Tina and her teachers provide great classes to all ages. Want to get away from the routine “activity program” at senior communities? If so, please look for her on the schedule. Art is for everyone at all ages. I can only highly recommend her!.

Sarah Solveig recommends Artsy Smartsy

Tina is such a talented, kind and inspirational person. The service she brings into the lives of so many through Artsy Smartsy is truly amazing. She touches so many lives and brightens so many days with her joyful personality and artistic gifts.


I worked as an activity director at a memory care facility and personally watched as she interacted with our residents in such a genuine and loving way. 


She instills confidence in everyone who participates and has such a gift for teaching. She inspired me to start painting again!


I can’t recommend Artsy Smartsy enough!!.

Shanna Kelley recommends Artsy Smartsy

If you EVER need a pick me up on a dreary day just spend 5 minutes with owner/artist Tina! I have not met many people like Tina and her staff that love others and are so dedicated and talented at what they do. Not only do they inspire artists in others to shine through, they show compassion and love in their hearts. I’m honored to be a part of seeing this company grow and excited I met Tina and her artists. What a blessing and awesome group. They are assets to the community.

Betsy Brown recommends Artsy Smartsy

Tina is incredible! Not just with Seniors, but artists of all ages! I had an Artsy Birthday party with Tina and my friends are still raving about her. She brought out the artist in all of us! We had four hours of fun and laughter until our sides hurt. Tina is so much fun, and so unbelievably creative! You must use Artsy Smarty for your creativity needs!

Kathy Kittleson recommends Artsy Smartsy

Love Tina's exuberance and love for all the seniors, who love her right back.  I have seen the joy on the faces of those who were sure they weren't creative. then went on to accomplish a project worthy of praise.  Never have I seen  anything to compare with the classes done by Artsy Smartsy!  Tenderness, love and compassion are wonderful traits of all the teachers.

Erin Garmon recommends Artsy Smartsy

Absolutely Highly recommend Tina’s classes-My mother (diagnosed with dementia)has taken several and I have even hired her to do a private workshop with friends and family ...also amazing...she is a cup filler FOR SURE!!💜

Brian Peterson recommends Artsy Smartsy

I would highly recommend Artsy Smartsy Classes! I've known Tina for many years and I've seen what she does, it's amazing! I've helped her with classes, community events and fund raisers. The way that she includes everyone and encourages people to be creative is outstanding.  She is #1 in the business! 👏👏👏
