Creative Aging

Curated arts programs for students age 55 and over!

Creative Aging activities provide arts and humanities programs and performances that stimulate participants' minds, creativity and sense of self. Programs in music, art, dance, and drama are designed to educate, engage, enrich and entertain.

Creative Aging programs are enjoyable lifetime arts and encourage continued participation. They provide a sense of self-exploration as well as opportunities to socialize. They build self-esteem and confidence, reducing anxiety, stress and depression while helping to improve physical capability and cognition. Programs can be tailored to your group or organization's needs and occur on-site at our professional facility or offsite at your location, as needed.
