These programs improve mental and physical health, offer creative solutions to overcome age and disability discrimination, prevent loneliness and isolation, and support healthy living from a holistic perspective. These outreach programs advocate for accessibility and inclusion by supporting people of every generation to explore their “inner artists” and learn from one another.
