What Does the New Research Say?

In this issue of The Creative Aging Resource Newsletter by Lifetime Arts, Diantha Dow Schull (Curator for Lifetime Arts), discusses recent arts participation studies and how their diverse approaches positively impact older adults and the creative aging field.

Diantha synthesized this issue into two distinct questions:

  • What do we know about the impact of participation in creative aging programs for older adults?
  • Further, what do we know about current approaches to measuring that impact?
