Introduction and Approaches to Creative Aging

Creative Aging is an exciting national movement to advance understanding of the vital relationship between creative expression and healthy aging. Join us in this experiential workshop to learn more about Creative Aging and how arts engagement benefits older adults. Guest artists, Maria Genné and Jane Tygesson will share some of the latest research in Creative Aging and lead an interactive exploration of the different approaches used across the continuum of care. The workshop will also introduce possibilities for participatory art making in dance, music, visual arts, poetry and story, and participants will leave with concrete tools and ideas to use in their own programs and work.

Who should attend? Anyone interested in the vital relationship between the arts and quality of life for older adults, including aging or healthcare service organization staff, caregivers, volunteers, teaching artists, and arts organizations.

Registration cost is $5. Registration closes Tuesday, February 16, 2016 or once capacity has been reached.
