Today is Ageism Awareness Day! This initiative, led by asaging, is centered on "reframing how we talk about aging and older people in a society where ageism is pervasive." ⁠
⁠
At Think 360 Arts, we work to promote the inclusion of quality arts programs in communities that serve older adults; preparing teaching artists to work with older adults; and fostering lifelong learning within our communities through our Creative Aging programs. ⁠
⁠
This past week Think 360 Arts staff and board members visited one of our Creative Aging program at A.B. Hirschfeld Towers. This program entitled, "Folding Paper to Hold Stories: Simple Bookmaking", is in partnership with DPL Ross-Broadway and is led by Think 360 teaching artist Jo Fitsell. ⁠
⁠
During this six week program, participants meet once a week to create their own works of art.  One participant explained how this program has taught her to "be more kind to [herself]" by showing her she doesn't have to be a professional artist to enjoy and appreciate the creative process of making her own artwork. ⁠
⁠
This program is funded by caring4denver and denverlibrary. ⁠
