No matter what their age or their physical or mental abilities may be, older adults can and should participate in the arts.
It is no secret that older artists can face challenges related to physical and cognitive age-related changes. However, far greater impediments to their successful participation in the arts are the social stigmas of ageism and ableism.
No matter what their age or their physical or mental abilities may be, older adults can and should participate in the arts. And not just any arts, but high-quality, innovative, and contemporary arts.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Creatus Project activities take place on or are launched from the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish People: the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We recognize and honour the recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation commission and acknowledge the importance of Indigenous sovereignty on this unceded territory.
*A territorial or land acknowledgement is an act of reconciliation that involves making a statement recognizing the traditional territory of the Indigenous people who called the land home before the arrival of settlers, and in many cases still do call it home.
