description
In 2008, the National Guild for Community Arts Education (then the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts) received funding from the MetLife Foundation to pilot the Creative Aging Program. The program provided in-depth technical assistance and seed grants of $5,000 to $7,500 to nine National Guild member organizations for the design, implementation, and evaluation of sustainable, 12-week creative aging programs: participatory, skill based arts education programs intended to improve quality of life for adults age 60 and above.
