What is Creative Aging?

The Heard Museum proudly hosts Creative Aging workshops where community members (55+) engage in a learning and creation process led by Indigenous teaching artists. Students part of the Creative Aging courses complete at least one unique artwork by the end of their sessions that exemplify the skills learned over the four weeks. Join us as we take this time to honor their work, their knack for creativity, and the meaningful connections forged with each other during this special program.
