Creative Conversations, led by Arts Alive and MediaActive, is a three year partnership development that links experienced agencies for arts, and health, to help establish a new exciting countywide programme of creative workshops, training, residencies, performances and exhibitions for and with older people.
One of only four initiatives to be funded in the whole of the Midlands through the Celebrating Age programme, jointly funded by the Arts Council through the National Lottery and the Baring Foundation, the project partnership involves Age UK, Shropshire Council, and Shropshire Provider's Consortium members, including Qube and Wem Town Hall.
Activity will take place in day centres, care homes, and community spaces, giving older people a chance to work with artists and participate in arts activities ranging from storytelling, music, singing, and creative use of technology.
