Ledgestone, Dripping Springs Art League Launch Art Program and Memory Care Garden Project

Table of Contents

Ledgestone Senior Living is bringing generations together through creativity thanks to a new partnership with the Dripping Springs Art League (DSAL). The collaboration kicked off in June 2025 with the Kindness Rock Painting Project — a free, family-friendly event open to kids, teens, parents, and grandparents.

Ledgestone Senior Living | Kindness Rock Painting Project
Residents at Ledgestone Senior Living enjoyed creative expression while painting kindness rocks as part of the community’s intergenerational art program.

The unique, intergenerational activity was the official preview of Art Across the Ages. In the fall, families will attend monthly weekend workshops at Ledgestone, where participants will range in age from 5 to 95, and explore a variety of artistic mediums including acrylics, watercolors, and collages. Local artist Linda Moon will lead the experience.

CBS Austin covered the first gathering, which was a heartfelt way to brighten the day of Ledgestone’s residents in memory care. Each hand-painted kindness rock will find a home in the senior living community’s new Butterfly Memory Care Garden. The special outdoor space is designed to encourage reflection and comfort.

“There’s something powerful about putting a paintbrush in someone’s hand, no matter the age,” said Katy Starr, Community Relations Director at Ledgestone. “Creative expression opens the door to connection, and when generations come together in that space, it uplifts everyone.”

Welcome the Joy of Creativity

At Ledgestone Senior Living, there’s always something inspiring happening, from hands-on art workshops to meaningful moments shared across generations. Residents thrive with endless opportunities to stay engaged, express themselves, and connect with the greater Dripping Springs community.
