Join NCCA!
Join us and support our vital mission to connect creative expression with healthy aging. The support of our members ensures that we can continue to highlight the ways in which the arts can serve as a powerful way to engage elders in a creative and healing process of self-expression, enabling them to create works that honor their life experience. If you believe in the creative potential of older people, we invite you to join us.
Membership in NCCA is open to individuals and organizations who:
- Believe in the creative potential of older people.
- Share a commitment to the mission of NCCA.
