While many nursing homes offer rehabilitation programs, group-based creative interventions that specifically target fine motor skills of the upper extremities remain underutilized and understudied. Fine motor function plays a critical role in maintaining independence and autonomy, as well as supporting overall quality of life. Structured group-based visual and creative arts programs may therefore provide a promising, non-pharmacological approach to support motor function and psychosocial well-being among nursing home residents. This study aims to examine both the feasibility and effectiveness of a four-week structured arts curriculum designed to enhance fine motor control, visual-motor integration, and hand-eye coordination in older adults. Pre-post effects of a structured arts programming on the upper extremity fine motor skills, participant depressive symptoms, and participant mood will be evaluated over the intervention period and before and after each class.</mods:abstract><mods:name><mods:namePart>Li, Nina S</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:name><mods:namePart>Zhao, Amy</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:name><mods:namePart>Zeltzer, Barry</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:name><mods:namePart>McCreedy, Ellen</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:name type="corporate"><mods:namePart>Brown University.
