The Creative Age Explores New, Uncharted Waters

Our very own Gay Hanna discusses the steady rise of creative arts programs for older adults in communities throughout the nation despite the creative aging field being a 'blue ocean,' one that is relatively new to the arts and healthcare world.  She discusses the national reach of NCCA in educating professionals in how to creatively engage older adults as well as NCCA's role in bridging the gap between arts and aging organizations.  Hanna also describes the future of funding for creative aging arts programs. Read the article HERE in Aging Today, the bimonthly newspaper of the American Society on Aging.
