Creative Aging Network-NC

Our MISSION is to enrich the lives of adults through creative expression, education, and social connection, bridging generations and cultures. Our engaging programs foster creativity and connection. From art classes, pottery, and weaving to gardening, cooking, and dance, we encourage experiences that inspire and empower. On our 10-acre campus in Greensboro, our gardens and nature trail offers a tranquil space for reflection, while our cross-sector community partnerships bring opportunities for learning, growth, and collaboration.

We empower aging adults to express their unique voices through the arts, promoting creativity and self-expression as a means of redefining later life. Our programs, rooted in both cultural traditions and innovative practices, connect generations and cultures, reducing loneliness and fostering community through shared activities like painting, music, cooking, and more. We encourage family involvement, ensuring elders remain active and integrated into their communities. For aging service providers, we offer training and consultation on best practices and creative programs, while also delivering educational resources and special projects for caregivers and community groups. We provide specialized training for artists and healthcare professionals to enhance their ability to support the well-being of older adults, fostering a thriving, vibrant community for all.
