From the YouTube Video Description:

Every state’s plan for serving older adults through meaningful arts engagement will (and should) look different. Creative aging programs thrive when they are rooted in authentic collaboration and are responsive to the distinct needs and contexts of our communities. As part of NASAA’s Leveraging State Investments in Creative Aging Initiative, Lifetime Arts partnered with 22 state arts agencies to support their visions for prioritizing creative aging in their statewide arts education missions and services for older adults. Through training and coaching, multi-stakeholder teams deepened their understanding of creative aging best practices and how to approach common challenges. Join staff from Lifetime Arts, Ohio Arts Council, and Utah Division of Arts & Museums for a dynamic and honest conversation about key takeaways and lessons learned that can help you grow creative aging programming in your state.
