ArtSage: Connector, Convener, Catalyst
- Trained 105 teaching artists to adapt skills and approach to work with older adults in a variety of community and care settings, reaching hundreds of older adults with high-quality arts activities each year.
- Consulted with 21 Minnesota arts organizations in all disciplines and in all areas of the state to help them develop compelling and engaging arts programming for older adults.
- Launched a pilot project with Ecumen, one of the region’s largest providers of continuum-of-care housing services to develop evidence-informed arts programs for older adults at all care levels that can be replicated in all their communities.
- Hosted the Upper Midwest’s first-ever Arts & Aging Conference and Showcase that attracted 200+ participants to Saint Paul to hear local and national speakers and take part in lively showcases by ArtSage-trained teaching artists.
- Held Intro to Arts & Aging Workshops in seven communities across Minnesota that provide a gateway into the field of arts and aging and lay the groundwork for local collaboration and partnerships.
- Developed SageConnect™, a revolutionary interactive and searchable database now under construction that will function as an accessible one-stop shop for the arts and aging “marketplace.”
