Day 2 – Pre-work Reflections

What are your museum’s assets that you can leverage to launch creative aging arts education programs?  (i.e. museum’s collections, current community partnerships, current engaged older adults, etc.)

How does your museum currently serve/engage with older adults?  What do you know about what older adults want from their experience at your museum?  Can you identify who is not being served currently?

What were your take-aways from the Ageism conversations during the Day 1 Live Session?  What came up that you feel might be helpful to relay to other staff at your institution?

Who are some possible current or future community partners for your creative aging programs?  How might the partnership benefit you both? (i.e. recruitment, funding, marketing, resources, etc.)

Who is currently supporting you in your organization with implementing creative aging programs?  Who else do you need “on your team”?  How can you involve other staff – such as from your museum’s communications, community engagement, development departments?

What do you foresee as your particular institution’s challenges in planning and implementing the creative aging arts education model of programming?

What is the biggest question you currently have around launching creative aging programs at your museum?
