INDIANA – According to the Creativity and Aging Study, creative arts experiences for people over 65 have been shown to have significant health and well-being benefits.
In order to support the health and well-being of older Hoosiers, the Indiana Arts Commission and Family and Social Services Administration are hosting four free lifelong arts training opportunities across the state.
Aging Service Providers can sign up for one of four free, in-person workshops. The training sessions are as follows:
- April 28, 2023: Fort Wayne
- June 23, 2023: Bloomington
- Sept. 19, 2023: Evansville
- Nov. 14, 2023: Gary
Aging services provider training participants will be eligible to apply for Lifelong Arts Early Action Grants, which fund a sequential arts-learning experience for a group of older adults in their community. Grants will be for up to $5,000 and must be led by a qualified artist.
