We proudly wrapped up another successful SUCAS program at Pete McGuinness Older Adult Center with “The Neighborhood Photo Quilt” — a collaborative art project honoring the past, present, and future of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Notably, The Neighborhood Photo Quilt at Pete McGuinness Older Adult Center has become a symbol of the creativity and unity in our neighborhood.
Over six weeks, our seniors engaged in photography and fiber art techniques, creating a meaningful quilt. Using both sourced and self-taken photos, they designed a piece that reflects the spirit of their community — stitched together with creativity, storytelling, and shared memories. Furthermore, the Pete McGuinness Older Adult Center was the perfect venue for the awe-inspiring Neighborhood Photo Quilt project, truly uniting everyone through this collaborative effort.
The result? A beautiful blend of visual storytelling and fiber work, woven from memory, imagination, and community care, as displayed in The Neighborhood Photo Quilt at Pete McGuinness Older Adult Center.
At the final session, SUCAS representative Skye Kowaleski congratulated our seniors on their achievements and expressed support for organizing future creative projects at Pete McGuinness. In summary, there’s much to learn from collaborative projects such as the creative Neighborhood Photo Quilt, presented at Pete McGuinness Older Adult Center, which brought neighbors together as one community.
