Myriad Ways to Tap Older Adults’ Creativity and Combat Social Isolation

description

While our campaign, “Connect Through Creativity Now,” highlights teaching artists, arts and service organizations working within the traditional Creative Aging model (sequential learning, skill-building, social-engagement) while stay-at-home orders prohibit in-person social gatherings, there are a number of other efforts emerging that warrant mention.

In this article, we include others working outside the traditional model, who are using arts education as a catalyst for social engagement and expression during the challenging COVID-19 era.
