Delivering CREATIVITY AND COMMUNITY TO YOUR DOORSTEP

D.I.T. Art Kits:

The Do-It-Together Art Community in a Box

Get creative without leaving home! Mather’s mission is to support Ways to Age Well℠ for all older adults–both inside and outside a Mather residence. Every memory and moment are better with a bit of color, so we’re cultivating a unique creative community for those 50 and better.

Every participant receives a complimentary Art Kit in the mail with all the materials needed and step-by-step instructions.
