In this issue of The Creative Aging Resource from Lifetime Arts, Diantha Dow Schull (Curator for Lifetime Arts), interviews two innovative programmers; Amy DelPo, Older Adult Specialist at the Denver Public Library and Harrison Orr, Director of Museum Education at Tucson’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Both programs were for members of the LGBTQIA+ communities. They were also intergenerational and offered online, providing instructive models for other cultural institutions.
