*******************************************

The first annual Creative Aging Festival is a month-long celebration
honoring our elders and their creative contributions to our community.
Throughout the month of May 2011, Bloomington area organizations are
presenting a wide variety of events to raise awareness of the
contributions of local elder artists, writers and performers. Most of
the Festival events are free and suitable for all ages.

The Festival is sponsored by The City of Bloomington Commission on
Aging and the Center on Aging and Community at Indiana University.
Along with showcasing the talents of our elders, the Festival’s
purpose is to promote intergenerational understanding and to highlight
the value of creative engagement for adult health and well-being.

Additional sponsors and a complete Creative Aging Festival calendar of
events are posted on the City of Bloomington website: https://bloomington.in.gov/coa
