Older Adult Programs
Our Older Adults Program offers special opportunities for older adults looking to increase socialization, stimulate emotional functioning, enhance personal growth, all while participating in many art forms that increase imagination and creativity.
Participants can choose to engage in visual arts, theatre/storytelling, dance/movement programs. WhyArts provides unique opportunities in a compassionate social setting that allows connections to peers.
WhyArts provides programming at your location, customized to the interest of participants.
A Yale study showed that older people with more positive beliefs about aging lived an average of 7.5 years longer than people who equated aging with disease and decline. Actress and activist Jane Fonda and anti-ageism advocate Ashton Applewhite present "Sunday Morning" viewers with a key to living a longer life, by maintaining a better outlook AND creating community through art-based activities!
