We are so thrilled about our partnership with Mather on this incredible initiative aimed at boosting positive age beliefs and raising awareness of ageism. Via an online workshop that includes the distribution of art kits to 300 people 55 and older from across the U.S., participants will create a story quilt as they learn about artistic activism and activist artists along the way. 🖼️🎨 We can’t wait to see how it unfolds and to share the evaluation data once it’s complete! #agingisliving #storyquilts #artisticactivism

We are so excited to be partnering with Forest Hills of DC on a 2024 AARP Community Challenge Grant this year!! As part of the launch of our initiative, which will feature a dynamic public art installation at Forest Hills, our Co-Founders Meg LaPorte and Jordan Evans conducted a workshop last week with residents, staff, volunteers, family members and more. 🎨🖼️ They discussed ageism, the impact it has on people and systems, and how the project will unfold and include beautiful portraits from photographer Marvin Bowser. 📸 As we work toward the installation this September, we are partnering with DC-based organizations, such as Tenleytown Main Street and others, to encompass the community in this innovative work that we hope will bring greater visibility to the people who live and work at Forest Hills — and nursing homes and assisted living communities everywhere.

These are the testaments that warm our hearts! Thank you, Paula Sobb! #artagainstageism #agingisliving
For women, more often than not, Aging is a scary and taboo word. .We spend significant time and resources to preserve our youthful looks, health and energy. This week I had an opportunity to celebrate and embrace aging at The Eden Alternative with people that not only embrace aging but are dedicating their lives to making aging a wonderful and human experience. Thank you to Art Against Ageism for this photo booth to help us all #OwnYourAge. Personally, I could not be more grateful for where I am in my aging journey. I’m at the height of my career, working with truly amazing people at LifeLoop with a profound mission to make Senior Living Exceptional for everyone. Am I over the hill? I would say I’m at the top of the mountain and I’m here to #ownmyage and the 50 years of my journey that has brought me here. Thank you to Jack York Talegate, Deke Cateau @A.G. Rhodes for partnering with us to talk about how LifeLoop is Elevating Well-Being Through Technology.
