The NEA has posted a report on its Mini-Conference on Creativity and Aging in America, May 18-19, 2005. The purpose of the mini-conference, co-sponsored by the National Center for Creative Aging and the International Music Products Association, was to develop recommendations for the 2005 White House Conference on Aging, set for December 11-14, which will guide national aging policy over the next decade. A select group of 44 leaders in the fields of aging, the arts, education, philanthropy, government and research presented, discussed and formulated recommendations on three issues important to older Americans: lifelong learning and building community through the arts, designing for the lifespan and the arts in healthcare.
