What is Creative Aging?

Creative Aging programs at the Heard Museum are designed to help participants (55+) develop their artistic abilities through intentional, step-by-step instruction. These activities provide opportunities for meaningful connection and interaction with others while learning a new medium and working on your own creation. They are led by professional teaching artists and encourage community engagement alongside other creative minds. Keep an eye out for announcements about upcoming Creative Aging Workshops and events!
