The center, founded in 1980, provides a supportive environment for beginning and advanced senior artists to receive guidance from experienced instructors. From a broader perspective, the Senior Artist Project helps to enhance understanding of what geriatric medicine is by illustrating the diverse talents of older adults, who benefit from their involvement in such activities. 

The College of Medicine works with groups such as the Tallahassee Senior Center for the Arts and the Tallahassee Senior Center with support from a Donald W. Reynolds Foundation grant. The grant is intended to enhance the use of concepts in geriatric medicine throughout the College of Medicine curriculum. 

Many of the paintings can be seen online at the Senior Art Project web site.
