Creative Aging Workshop for Teaching Artists 

Join us on Friday, October 27, 2017 for a day-long professional development workshop on teaching artistry in the field of Creative Aging.

Creative Aging is a national movement to advance understanding of the vital relationship between creative expression and healthy aging, and a term used to encompass the many types of quality arts programs which support and enrich the lives of adults across the aging spectrum.

Presenters/Facilitators: 

  • Jorge Merced 
  • Liz Lerman
  • Melita Belgrave
  • Trisha Burrough
  • Elizabeth Johnson
  • Angelina Ramirez
  • Toni Robinson
  • Tessa Windt

Through panel discussions, interactive learning sessions, and dynamic presentations, facilitators will address a holistic approach to thinking about the fundamentals of Creative Aging and the aging process. Participants will explore creative aging program design and their own approach as teachers, artists and practitioners through the principles of cultural responsiveness, person-centered engagement/care and a process-based approach.

Who should attend?

This workshop is primarily geared toward teaching artists, but practitioners and providers of any kind, interested in the field of Creative Aging, are welcome to attend.

This workshop is presented through the AZ Creative Aging initiative, generously supported by
Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust.
