NEA Webinar on Arts and Aging

Wednesday, February 20, 2013, 2:00 – 3:00 pm, EST      As the U.S. population ages, it faces more age-related diseases.  How can the arts serve to treat, prevent, or improve these conditions?  Representatives from the National Institutes of Health , the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the University of California will discuss current investigations on the arts and aging, including new resources for researchers and arts practitioners.  The NEA also debuts a new publication on arts and aging research based on a convening at the National Academy of Sciences last fall. 

The latest public webinar is hosted by the NEA Interagency Task Force on the Arts and Human Development, an alliance of 14 federal agencies and departments that encourage more and better research on how the arts help people reach their full potential at all stages of life.
