Creative Aging Symposium 2023:
Paths to Rediscovery
Life is a winding path full of challenges and moments of joy, both of which fuel our resiliency. The sixth annual Creative Aging Symposium asks us to pause, rediscover pathways to joy, and embrace a sense of play. A lineup of artists and speakers will share tools, practices, and experiences that build creative confidence. This is how we move forward together, living with joy in good company.
The Creative Aging Symposium is hosted by Creative Spark, Well Connected Español, and older adults in our programs.
