Abstract:
A report commissioned by the Baring Foundation after ten years of funding Arts & Older People, reviews the development of the creative ageing sector over the past decade, examining how far has it come and considering where it should go next.
Written by Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt from King’s College London, this review follows on from the Baring Foundation’s report Ageing Artfully, the 2009 study mapping participatory arts for older people across the whole of the UK.
It looks at the changing demographics; the motivations for creative ageing and creative ageing before 2010. It then goes on to examine the locations; the development of arts and older people; the range of national activity; diversification across cultures and generations; barriers; skills and knowledge; networking and research and evaluation.
It concludes by looking at the range of issues under ‘unfinished business’ and has an appendix of older people’s arts programmes in the UK.
