Creativity Matters for Older Minnesotans: MnCAAN’s Statewide Campaign

MnCAAN is in its third year of its statewide campaign:

• To raise awareness about the benefits of lifelong creative engagement
• To expand opportunities for older Minnesotans to participate in professionally led creative arts programs

Campaign Features

• An inspiring, informative film, The Creative Power of Aging, highlighting model arts programs and Minnesota artists who are 50+.
• Campaign kickoff events were held in 9 communities statewide in 2008-2009, including a film showing, training and community forum to spark local arts-and-aging efforts. Three to six more will be held in 2010.
• Participation in a virtual community of Minnesotans via this evolving website where we can all learn together how to increase high quality arts-and-aging activities where we live and work.
