Do you believe older adults are beyond creative self-expression? In fact, our elders are often unbound from the rules that can limit creativity earlier in life. Visit the Arts & Minds Showcase of works by older adults, with and without dementia, in various media: painting, mixed media, collage, poetry, and more – and revitalize your attitude to aging. A short video is offered depicting the benefits to opening the spirit to aesthetic and meaningful self-expression in later life, and tells stories of how elder artists achieve purpose, meaning and self-validation as they are freed to develop artistic skills and capacity.
