About

The Creative Aging Gallery is a collaboration between Creative Aging Network-NC and the Gerontology Program. The creative arts give older adults a platform to share their voices and pass their legacy to the next generation. The arts play a vital role in helping them stay engaged in their communities socially, civically, and psychologically. For elders with cognitive disabilities, the arts provide an essential link for communication and emotional expression, helping them better connect with their care partners and the broader community.
