The Brookline Senior Center is offering a free intergenerational arts program through Wednesday, August 12, pairing teens and older adults for twice-weekly creative workshops on Winchester Street.

Creative Connections launched Monday, July 6, and meets every Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Senior Center, 93 Winchester St. Participants collaborate in workshops covering storytelling, photography, textile and floral art, and music, according to the center's program listing.

The program concludes with a community Art Show and StorySlam celebration showcasing work developed over the six-week run. A date for that event has not yet been announced.
