Art Programming for Older Adults: What's out There?

Abstract

In 1980, a pivotal book, Lifelong Learning and the Visual Arts (Hoffman, Greenberg, & Fitzner, 1980) documented art programs for older adults and the need for professional art educators to enter the field. This article examines literature to determine what has happened in the intervening decade and describes art programming for older adults which has been implemented at the national, state, and local levels. Emphasis is placed on innovative programs which promote creative thinking and self-expression and on the continuing need for art educators to develop new models of art programming for elderly learners.
