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 arts and aging, new programs and resources. The NEA also debuts a new publication on arts and aging research based on a convening at the National Academies of Science last fall.
