Bloomington, Ind. – In
celebration of Older Americans Month in May, the City of Bloomington Commission
on Aging invites the community to celebrate creativity and our aging
population. Since Bloomington is known as both an arts and retirement
destination, the Commission seeks to enhance these two attributes through
offering the Fourth Annual Creative Aging Festival in May.
The primary objectives of the
Creative Aging Festival are to highlight the artistic talents of older adults;
promote intergenerational understanding through dialogue, sharing traditions,
and storytelling and increase awareness about the value of creative engagement
to adult health and well-being.
The Commission has developed an
online Creative Aging Festival Program Guide, which will feature creative aging
events and exhibits in May. Printed guides will be distributed to arts
and aging venues in the area. The Creative Aging Festival program guide can be
viewed online at www.bloomington.in.gov/coa.
The Commission on Aging meets on
the second Tuesday of each month at 4:30 p.m. at City Hall Hooker Conference
Room, Suite 245, 401 N. Morton St. All commission meetings are open to
the public and minutes from meetings can be found on the City of Bloomington
website at www.bloomington.in.gov/coa.
