The National Center for Creative Aging has published a series of resource guides concerning arts programming for older people. The guides – of which there are four – deal with a range of topics from theatre and visual arts through to more generalised art forms. As memory plays an important role in programming for seniors, the guides all make a priority of it and utilise 'memory' or remembering in some shape or form. Renya Larson has written a guide to reminscence-based theatre from the popular Elders Share The Arts program. The guide contains instructions on how to establish 'living history' programs, case studies, and activities. Legacy Works: Transforming Memory Into Visual Art approaches the topic from a different perspective. Engagement is a key theme, but the book is aimed towards smaller scale programs, where individual or visiting care-givers can institute 'Legacy Work'. Susan Perlstein and Jeff Bliss have focused on using memory as a generational bridging tool. Generating Community is a guide for using reminiscence to overcome social and generational gaps, utilising a wide variety of art forms. Also published is a guide to incorporating the arts in dementia care. Sustainable programming in this area can be problematic, and the publication offers solutions from both a volunteer and staff perspective. The National Center for Creative Aging is an advocacy and training group formally established in 2001. It seeks to promote the relationship between creative expression and the quality of life of older people, irrespective of economic status, age, and physical or mental health.
