As a subset of the broader field of creative aging, vitality arts programs inspire and enable older adults to learn, make and share the arts in ways that are novel, complex and socially engaging. Successful vitality arts programs are led by teaching artists whose creative process and understanding of older adults bring joy, connection, improved health and well-being, and a renewed sense of purpose to older adults in community and residential settings.
This project is made possible, in part, through support from Aroha Philanthropies, Alabama State Council of the Arts, The Gratitude Foundation, and the Joseph S. Bruno Charitable Foundation.
