On February 3, 2016, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Center for Creative Aging (NCCA) released The Summit on Creativity and Aging, a report on the May 2015 summit of more than 70 experts co-presented by the National Endowment for the Arts and National Center for Creative Aging that preceded the July 2015 White House Conference on Aging. The report investigates three topics relevant to healthy aging–health and wellness and the arts, lifelong learning in the arts, and age-friendly community design–and offers recommendations for the public and private sectors, noting that the federal government is poised to take a leadership role in fostering change.
A report from The Summit on Creativity and Aging in America, in collaboration with the 2015 White House Conference on Aging, held May 18th 2015 at the National Endowment for the Arts.
On February 3, 2016, NEA staff and invited speakers introduced the white paper from the Summit on Creativity and Aging in America via a webinar. Speakers included NEA Accessibility Director Beth Bienvenu, NCCA Executive Director Gay Hanna, and 2015 White House Conference on Aging Director Nora Super.
