A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF THE ARIZONA COMMISSION ON THE ARTS

AZ Creative Aging Convenings

Join the Arizona Commission on the Arts this spring for a convening of arts, healthcare, and aging services professionals working in the field of creative aging.

In 2016 the Arizona Commission on the Arts launched AZ Creative Aging with funding from Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust. Since then, AZ Creative Aging has evolved to meet the needs and potential of a vibrant field of practice, expanding the state’s creative aging infrastructure to enhance quality of life for older Arizonans.

In May 2023, AZ Creative Aging will host convenings in four Arizona communities and online, offering a unique opportunity for people working at the intersection of aging, healthcare, and the arts to convene, reconnect, and explore the state of the field and the opportunities ahead!

These events are offered free of charge, but space is limited. Register now to secure your spot!
