Creative Aging

Creative Aging enriches the lives of Mid-South seniors through the arts. The most popular Creative Aging programs are musical performances.
Our programs engage seniors at places they live and gather through professional musical, theatrical and visual arts performances, activities, and classes. To accomplish our mission, Creative Aging hires professional artists to present high quality arts performances and workshops where older adults live or gather. Most performances take place in nursing homes, retirement communities, senior centers
