Creative aging is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s a high-value strategy for health, connection, and community well-being. The question now is: how do we embed it into policy and systems at scale?

Join Lifetime Arts Executive Director, Heather Ikemire, and nationally recognized aging policy expert, Gretchen Alkema, for a free and focused, 60-minute conversation on what it will take to move creative aging into the mainstream of healthy aging policy and practice. Drawing from Lifetime Arts’ new policy brief, “Creative Aging in the Healthy Aging Ecosystem: Advancing Brain Health, Social Connectedness, and Livable Communities,” this session highlights where creative aging fits in today’s policy landscape and what state and national leaders, local organizations, and private and community funders can do next.
