From the guide: 

Are you a librarian, nonprofit community organizer, aging services provider, arts organization or other interested creative? Have you come looking for ways to engage your older population with creative arts activities that are informed by research and field tested in real communities? From 2021-2025, the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) and its partners collected stories and data to understand how arts impact the lives of older adults through the Lifelong Arts Indiana program.

This guidebook is grounded in experiences from programs, workshops, and trainings led by artists and presented in communities across Indiana. From creating practical budgets to understanding the science, this guidebook provides a variety of useful tools to help you along your creative aging journey. We hope you use this information to build your own unique programs while having fun.
