The Scottish Arts Council announces: The Age of Creativity. A conference exploring the arts, lifelong learning and older people. Date: 18 March 2004 Venue: Byre Theatre, St Andrews, Fife This one-day conference will explore how the arts and lifelong learning can challenge and change stereotypical attitudes towards older people and raise the profile and the value of the arts in this context. The conference will celebrate the creativity, talents and positive attitudes of older people participating in the arts, as well as showcasing the benefits that participation brings to older people. It is a unique opportunity to experience the vitality of older people’s arts projects from Scotland and beyond. The conference programme includes keynote presentations, personal testimonies, performances, discussions and practical workshops. Organisers hope to attract an audience of people with wide and broad experience – older people and members of arts projects for over-55s, artists, arts organisations, service providers, local authorities, agencies working with older people, funders, senior citizens’ groups, local councillors, MSPs. If you are involved in the arts, or with older people, or both, this conference is for you. To download a conference brochure, CLICK HERE.
