Wyoming Libraries to Take Part in Arts Program for Older Adults

Fifteen Wyoming libraries will soon offer arts-based programming to older adults 55 years and up in their communities through the Creative Aging in Wyoming Public Libraries Project, reports Wyoming News Now . "Creative Aging embraces older adults as learners," said Lifetime Arts CEO Maura O'Malley. "It expands the impact of teaching artists, and provides a positive and creative approach to programming." Each library qualifies for up to $4,000 to cover instructor fees, workshop materials, and supplies for two programs, for a total of $60,000 in funding statewide. The project includes training and coaching held by Lifetime Arts. Library programmers and teaching artists who have attended training will be skilled to plan, promote, implement, assess, and sustain both in-person and virtual creative aging programs.
