The Ana Project has been providing the residents of Bethlehem Retirement Village ( a HUD subsidized Senior living facility) for several years now. The Ana project has brought the Arts to the folks here when many of them would not necessarily be able to go to or afford those opportunities. There is a lot of laughter, fun and creativity at any and all of the sessions that the project has provided. What a great service to all here.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture
Mission: We bring the arts to people of all ages from all walks of life through workshops and performances.
Results: The AnA Project is a non-profit 501c3 charity where artists of all disciplines share their talents to make a difference in their community. The AnA Project is celebrating their sixth year providing opportunities for artists to make an impact within an approximate 5-mile area of where they work or live, developing lasting relationships that make a difference. Since their inception in 2013, the AnA Project has spread joy through their performances and workshops. The Flourtown/Erdenheim based non-profit was started as the brain child of Anthe Capitan-Valais and Amy Margaret Unks, both based out of Montgomery County. Seeing a need for the program, they started their outreach by bringing Drawing-from-Music and Dance into nursing homes. From their early vision and mission, The AnA Project has grown from just visual arts into supporting all the arts—sculpture, painting, literature, music, and performing. When asked what’s new, Anthe, the Executive Director and an accomplished artist herself replied, “We really want to ramp up our programming. We would like to have several artists bring at least one workshop each a week into our area nursing homes and senior centers, community centers, and schools, as well as expanding our network through library programming. There is a need to bridge the gap between young and old, and the AnA Project facilitates that through performances by young children dancing for seniors To achieve these goals, we need to continue to raise funds. To that end, we will be having two fall workshops to raise funds that will be open to the public and one major fundraiser.”
