In addition to the annotated bibliography, the opening chapter introduces the current state of policy, practice and research on arts and culture for older people in Singapore. The book offers a valuable point of reference for all readers interested in the use of artistic and cultural development as creative and non-pharmacological approaches to providing support throughout the ageing process.

Arts in Healthy Aging examines public policies and professional practices that effectively use the arts to support health and well-being outcomes in older adults. It offers a comprehensive study of why and how purposefully-designed programs that engage the visual, performing, and literary arts can support the health and well-being of older adults. The authors argue that it is the right time for the American arts and aging movement to restructure itself as a national network and advocacy coalition across four domains: the arts, health, aging, and lifelong learning. Building on decades of published research, government documents, and program models, this scholarly volume provides historical perspectives, new theoretical approaches, analytical models, resources for researchers and practitioners, and pathways forward for advancing the interdisciplinary arts in healthy aging field of scholarship and practice. Although focused on the United States, the discussion of policies and practices is relevant and applicable to other countries as appropriate to their specific contexts.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the role the arts can play in aging society and the actions that need be taken to capture the attention of policymakers and service providers in the fields of arts and aging. Since population aging continuously poses inevitable and permanent changes in our society that will alter the nature of social, economic, healthcare, and many other areas, it is important for the arts sector too to turn our attention to the aging population, particularly in relation to social and public policy. As the central theme and tool, this study introduces the concept of creative aging to discuss the benefits of the arts that revolve around improving the lives of older adults. Creative aging utilizes the unique ability of the arts to provide support for older people wishing to lead more active, meaningful and healthy lives. This policy-oriented study is conducted to forecast the role of the arts in aging society, using the concept of creative aging, in an effort to inform arts programming and policy development as well as broader social and public policy making. This study adopted a policy making model, Multiple Streams Framework, to investigate the nature and context of creative aging. By investigating the concept of creative aging and its political implication, this dissertation seeks to make visible the value of meaning of this approach.

Creative aging is a small but growing field of scholarship and practice that connects the fields of arts and culture, health promotion, and gerontology. Promoting quality of life for older adults is a global policy priority due to shifting demographic trends that make this a large and increasingly important constituent group (Bowling, 2013 & Haugan, et al., 2020). Governments, healthcare providers, and communitybased organizations are seeking innovative strategies to support aging in place and improve quality of life. Twenty-five adults ages 55+ participated in this study of a Creative Aging in Libraries pilot program across five public libraries in Delaware. Pre-surveys were collected during class one and post-surveys were collected during the final class of the eight-week workshop series. Quantitative and qualitative data on quality of life, social engagement, and sense of mastery were obtained, in addition to socio-demographic characteristics. Quality of life was measured using the Older Persons Quality of Life- Brief (OPQOL-brief) instrument. Standard outcome measures from the OPQOL-brief survey showed no statistically significant effect on participants' quality of life. However, program-specific questions related to social engagement and sense of mastery, analyzed qualitatively, suggested that participating in the workshops had a positive impact in these two dimensions of quality of life. The findings suggest potential benefits of creative arts programming on participants' selfreported social engagement and sense of mastery. Future research studies focused on the quality of life impacts of arts engagement on older adults are needed. This includes creating programs of research that are discipline-specific, developing stronger conceptual models and theoretical frameworks, and utilizing standardized measurement tools that are sensitive to the mechanisms of arts engagement. Policy implications of the study include public provision through the Delaware Division of the Arts to support continued research in creative aging, revising recruiting strategies to reach underserved seniors, and development of evaluation models to promote best practices for creative aging programs in both community-based and residential care settings.

This volume presents the work of social scientists, public policy analysts, policy makers, and arts-funding decision makers. The contributors seek to address serious issues confronting the future of the arts in America by defining the role of social science research in the formulation of public policies. The chapters reflect the diverse disciplinary perspectives and methodologies which make up the broad enterprise of arts research and cover a wide array of current issues in arts research and public policy, including: the current state of arts and arts education research; arts participation by ethnic cultures, baby-boomers, and older adults; emerging patterns of aesthetic choice; public arts policy in the future, and conditions for the growth and effective use of arts research. Academics and students in political science, policy analysis, sociology, economics, arts administration, and education, policy makers, and arts administrators will find The Future of the Arts a valuable resource. The contributors conclude that the future of the arts in America will be shaped by a wide array of forces. The challenge is in avoiding passive reactiveness to these trends, assessing their short-term and long-term influences, and strategically developing policy options that are within the decision-making control of leadership sectors in the complex arts policy world. Until recently, the political context of public arts policy has hindered the development and utilization of arts research. In many ways, this book illustrates the promise of research-based policy formulation for the arts in America.

Art Therapy and Creative Aging offers an integrated perspective on engaging with older people through the arts. Drawing from the author’s clinical, research and teaching experiences, the book explores how arts engagement can intertwine with and support healthy aging. This book combines analysis of current development theory, existing research on creative programs with elders, and case examples of therapeutic experience to critically examine ageism and demonstrate how art therapy and creative aging approaches can harness our knowledge of the cognitive and emotional development of older adults. Chapters cover consideration of generational, cultural, and historical factors; the creative, cognitive and emotional developmental components of aging; arts and art therapy techniques and methods with older adults with differing needs; and examples of best practices. Creative arts therapists, creative aging professionals, and students who seek foundational concepts and ideas for arts practice with older people will find this book instrumental in developing effective ways of using the arts to promote health and well-being and inspire engagement with this often-underserved population.

Scrutinizing the dominant deficit discourse upon older population in public policy field, this empirical study aims to critically examine cultural welfare perceptions of older population under current arts and aging policy in South Korea. Also, through the analysis of the Seoul International Senior Film Festival, I investigate how perceptions of older Koreans has been constructed and represented in both aging policy and arts policy planes. Finally, conducting a thematic analysis of the films by older festival participants, I stress potential benefits of informal arts participation of target group for understanding changing arts and cultural demands of older population.

Drawing on interdisciplinary, cross-national perspectives, this open access book contributes to the development of a coherent scientific discourse on social exclusion of older people. The book considers five domains of exclusion (services; economic; social relations; civic and socio-cultural; and community and spatial domains), with three chapters dedicated to analysing different dimensions of each exclusion domain. The book also examines the interrelationships between different forms of exclusion, and how outcomes and processes of different kinds of exclusion can be related to one another. In doing so, major cross-cutting themes, such as rights and identity, inclusive service infrastructures, and displacement of marginalised older adult groups, are considered. Finally, in a series of chapters written by international policy stakeholders and policy researchers, the book analyses key policies relevant to social exclusion and older people, including debates linked to sustainable development, EU policy and social rights, welfare and pensions systems, and planning and development. The book’s approach helps to illuminate the comprehensive multidimensionality of social exclusion, and provides insight into the relative nature of disadvantage in later life. With 77 contributors working across 28 nations, the book presents a forward-looking research agenda for social exclusion amongst older people, and will be an important resource for students, researchers and policy stakeholders working on ageing.
