Rochester came together yesterday at the Memorial Art Gallery for Aging INSPIRED! — a celebration of creativity and healthy aging.
Mayor Evans joined partners from the UR Aging Institute to highlight how the arts help us stay connected, vibrant, and inspired.
Engaging in the arts boosts physical & mental health, increases creativity, and promotes independence. Today, Aging INSPIRED gathered older adults to learn, create, and connect at the @MAG_Rochester. Together we're making Monroe County a place where older adults thrive!
Engaging with the arts is a powerful way to promote vitality in later life. The @UofR Aging Institute and @MAG_Rochester are hosting a free event to help make Greater Rochester an even more age-friendly community. #AgingInspired#AgingWell

A campaign called Aging Inspired! uses art to help improve the lives of older adults. Perhaps the greatest pitch man for the concept is a legendary Rochester artist who often gets to his studio before the sun comes up. https://t.co/vTiwhGbo0x

Viewing and creating art can lead to improved mental health and critical thinking. Check out this video by the @UR_Aging Institute featuring the work of Alma Thomas at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY. Alma’s career took off after the age of 60!
