We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and joy-filled holiday weekend filled with good food, great company, and plenty of sunshine (and also staying cool)!
We got an early start on our Fourth of July celebrations! 🇺🇸 With temperatures pushing 100°, we brought the picnic indoors and enjoyed great food, patriotic trivia, and music from our favorite impromptu pianist, Cheryl Beauchamp. Wishing everyone a safe, fun, and happy Fourth of July as we celebrate America's 250th birthday! ❤️🤍💙

Every year, we celebrate something truly special at our Silver Maples 90s Party! 🎉 We honor our residents who are 90 years young and beyond with a fun theme (definitely not grunge! 😉), live music from Debbie Fogel’s incredible sextet, and an afternoon filled with laughter, dancing, and wonderful memories. Reaching 90 and beyond is an extraordinary milestone, and it’s a joy to celebrate these remarkable lives together. Here’s to our amazing nonagenarians and the stories, wisdom, and joy they continue to share! 💜 Can you guess our theme? 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 #parispartytheme #90spartu #silvermaplesofchelsea

As we celebrate, we recognize the importance of freedom, opportunity, community, and continued progress. Juneteenth is a time to reflect on our shared history, learn from one another, and appreciate the diverse voices and experiences that strengthen our communities. Wishing everyone a meaningful and joyful Juneteenth filled with celebration, reflection and progress.

Many artists work from photographs. Avé Madiol Veneklasen prefers to paint directly from nature whenever possible. By setting up her easel outdoors, she experiences each landscape firsthand: the breeze, changing weather, shifting light, and sounds of the environment, all of which influence every brushstroke. That connection to place is evident throughout Whispers in the Field, now on display at Gallery 100. Gallery Hours: Monday-Friday: 10am – 5pm Saturday-Sunday: 10am – 3pm
Applications are now open for artists, artisans, and crafters for our 18th annual Harvest Art Market. Please submit Art Market Applications by August 1, 2026. LINK: https://silvermaples.org/harvestartmarket/

“Being creative is not so much the desire to do something as the listening to that which wants to be done.” - Anni Albers Gallery 100 celebrates the lasting influence of textile artist and educator Anni Albers, whose innovative approach to weaving helped redefine fiber art and inspire generations of artists and makers. That legacy continues in our current exhibition, Juxtaposition, featuring quilted works by Charlotte Wyche. Through fabric, texture, and storytelling, Wyche’s work reflects the enduring power of fiber art as both a creative practice and a way of sharing knowledge across generations. 📍 Juxtaposition is on display through July 5 at Gallery 100. #CharlotteWyche #Juxtaposition #Gallery100
