The Creative Age Festival recognizes the potential of arts to energize and change the lives of seniors. The Festival is a celebration of creative aging that showcases the talents and contributions of senior artists and encourages seniors to become more involved in the arts.

The 2012 Creative Age Festival combined popular Arts Cafés at senior centres throughout the city with a focus on theatre! A variety of interactive workshops were offered including a Rock ‘n’ Roll session and a chance to hone comedic improvisation skills. Theatre performances were also hosted at the Timms Centre for the Arts and featured both local and out-of-town senior acting groups.

Watch for upcoming information on the 2013 Creative Age Festival!

To support year-round and life-long creative aging, the Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council has also developed the Arts and Aging Toolkit – Edmonton

Edition, an information resource on professionally conducted community arts programming for seniors. A component of the Toolkit is the Directory of Teaching Artists, a searchable database of teaching artists in the Edmonton area. If you would like to learn more about organizing quality arts programming for Edmonton seniors, please visit www.seniorscouncil.net/arts-and-aging-toolkit.
