As the field of community arts education continues to deepen its practice of providing innovative, intentional programming for older adults, there are core questions around funding and sustainability. How has the landscape for creative aging funding developed over the last decade? How can organizations create a program model that includes strong funding and community partners? What does sustainability in creative aging work look like?
