Agenda: Aging
For adults over 50, arts and culture can dramatically reduce the risk of developing depression, decrease the possibility of dementia through volunteer engagement and improve mental and emotional processing power.
Agenda: Aging is the fourth in a series of advocacy tools that outline the positive impact of arts and culture on important civic issues.
The Agenda series highlights existing research and resources that demonstrate the relevance and impact of arts and culture in Greater Philadelphia, throughout the Commonwealth and across the country.
