CARIE is honored to present the 2019 Spirit of CARIE award to:
Susan Shifrin, Founder and Executive Director, ARTZ Philadelphia
Susan Shifrin founded ARTZ Philadelphia in 2013. Susan says: "I was inspired to start ARTZ Philadelphia after having hosted a series of workshops and programs for visitors with dementia at the Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College. I was profoundly affected as I watched visitors, many in the later stages of dementia, come to life in the Museum as they looked at and talked about art. Art was their vehicle for expression, interaction, creativity, and mutual respect. And for laughter - plenty of laughter."
Charles McMahon, Artistic Director, Lantern Theater Company
Charles McMahon co-founded Lantern Theater Company in 1994 and serves as its Artistic Director. A core belief of the company is that great plays, well performed, make a difference in the lives of the people who experience them. Through its production of dramatic works highlighting older characters and the complex challenges of aging, the Lantern has engaged audiences in deeper examination of what it means to grow older with dignity and integrity, fierceness and humor.
"For using the power of the arts to illuminate the limitless capacity of the human spirit."
Thank you to our generous sponsors!
