At Embraced, our purpose is to create inclusive, thriving communities by connecting generations through the transformative power of arts, culture, and creativity. By uniting people to create art, we celebrate intergenerational bonds, connect communities and change perceptions, embracing differences, fostering belonging, and nurturing wellbeing — building a foundation for lasting social change.

Generational divides, social isolation, and limited access to creative opportunities often prevent younger and older generations from engaging in meaningful, shared experiences. These barriers hinder understanding, social connection, and the ability to build strong, supportive communities.

​

Embraced breaks down these barriers by creating opportunities for people across generations to connect through art, culture, and creativity. Through our programs — such as Songs For You, an intergenerational songwriting program for teenagers that celebrates storytelling through music; The Centenarian Portrait Project by Teenagers (TCPPBT), which shares the memories and life histories of our oldest generations through portraits; and Residence, a songwriting residency program for emerging musicians featuring interactive sessions and collaborative musical exchanges — we bring generations together, celebrate diverse perspectives, challenge stereotypes, and connect communities.
