ARTS & CULTURE

The Carter Burden Network understands how important it is to continually enrich one's life with art and culture. Therefore, we provide multiple outlets and programs for older adults to create, discuss and participate in arts and culture activities. 

We use creative approaches that inspire and encourage students at all skill levels and with multiple areas of interest to help you find your own unique artistic outlets. Our multi-faceted Arts Programs engages the imagination with exciting and stimulating activities such as ceramics, jewelry-making, sewing, singing in a choir, joining a dance group, taking guitar lessons, visiting a museum and much more. We believe that when creativity is unlocked, you see the world in new ways. 

So we invite you to put a brush to canvas, challenge yourself with an imaginative project or just discover your favorite new piece of music. CBN strives to help the artist within you come alive. And the Carter Burden Gallery in Chelsea celebrates works by re-emerging older professional NYC artists. 

We invite you and all older adults to come get creative with us.

Carter Burden Gallery

Located in Chelsea, the Carter Burden Gallery (CBG) is a program of the Carter Burden Network, designed to give a voice to New York City's re-emerging older professional artists and to foster a supportive and culturally diverse artist community. 

Carter Burden Network’s Making Art Work program and Carter Burden Gallery are made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
