Join us to learn about the Creative Aging Arts Program (CAAP), a program of the Nebraska Arts Council (NAC). Thanks to special funding for CAAP in libraries, grants are available for artist-led workshops during fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026). These grants support sequential, interactive workshops that are led by NAC Roster teaching artists who’ve completed training to engage older adults.
Join NAC Program Specialist Anne Alston and NAC Program Coordinator Joshua Brown, as well as the Louisville Library Director, Michelle Daniels, who will share her experience with CAAP at her library. During this webinar, you will:
- Hear about how CAAP can help libraries address community outreach goals.
- Learn how CAAP addresses issues of loneliness and isolation among older adults.
- Find out about the steps involved with applying for a grant, hiring an artist, and hosting a series of artist-led workshops for older adults.
