What We Do
We seek to dismantle ageism and advance more positive and expansive views of aging through participatory public art, interactive installations, and creative endeavors that are sometimes disruptive and always intriguing.
“Own Your Age” Photo Booth Installations
This initiative is a joyful and creative way to tackle biases about age and aging. With a colorful backdrop, art supplies, and empowering conversations, our photo booth encourages participants to “own their ages” and do their part to advance positive age beliefs. This installation is an excellent addition to a team meeting, conference, or corporate event.
Add some joy, engagement, and purpose to your event! Click HERE for more information.
Interactive Art
We create and install artistic creations that spark conversations, raise awareness of age bias, and foster positive and correct beliefs about aging. From senior living organizations in Atlanta, D.C., and Baltimore to events and conferences across the country, our work seeks to illuminate how positive age beliefs improve well-being. Our memorable experiences captivate and inspire participants to think about age and aging in creative and positive ways. More details HERE.
Public ART
Art in in its many forms is a powerful tool for bringing visibility to communities that are often overlooked by society—such as nursing homes and other places where older adults live, work, and congregate. We work with aging services organizations to create and install public art exhibits that raise awareness of, and make visible, the people who live and work in these communities. More details HERE.
Presentations and Workshops On Art & Ageism
Conducted in conjunction with GreySource, an HCRI Recertification-approved entity, our workshops are centered on educating participants about age, aging, and damaging stereotypes that impact people of all ages, covering the following topic areas: The Three Kinds of Ageism and How They Impact Everyday Life, Ageism and the Anti-Aging Industrial Complex, Age Bias and Its Impact on Staff and Clients.
