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.

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.

As we continue to live longer, the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease is on an upward trend. Today, 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. According to the National Alzheimer's Association, nearly 14 million individuals will be diagnosed with the disease by 2050. With the rising cost of both in-home and out-of-home professional care and the increasing desire to age-in-place, caregiving by family members is becoming more commonplace in North American households. At first, this thesis set out to explore if art-making could cultivate forms of non-verbal communication within domestic settings between individuals living with progressive Alzheimer's and their family caregivers (spouse, daughter etc.). However, due to the spread of COVID-19, this thesis asks a new question: Can art-making enhance non-verbal communication between individuals living with dementia and their care partners in nursing homes? How can caregivers and individuals living with dementia feel empowered to make together? Design for Creative Aging explores a series of in-person and virtual art making workshops in a Seattle-based memory unit.

Aging populations are a major consideration for socio-economic development in the early 21st century. This demographic change is mainly seen as a threat rather than as an opportunity to improve the quality of human life. Aging population is taking place in every continent of the world with Europe in the least favourable situation due to its aging population and reduction in economic competitiveness. Economic Foundations for Creative Aging Policy offers public policy ideas to construct positive answers for ageing populations. This exciting new volume searches for economic solutions that can enable effective social policy concerning the elderly. Klimczuk covers theoretical analysis and case study descriptions of good practices, to suggest strategies that could be internationally popularised.
