Lifetime Arts delivered two days of extensive teaching artist training in Chicago with Silk Road Rising, an art-making and art service organization that shapes conversations about Asian and Middle Eastern Americans. The training provided Chicago arts organizations and Silk Road Rising teaching artists and staff a creative outlet to share ideas and explore ways to embed Creative Aging programs into their teachings.
“Training Chicago teaching artists was so inspiring. They are hungry for this work and the day was filled with the space to share ideas and work together to imagine what Creative Aging programs in Chicago could be like.”
— Annie Montgomery, Director of Education, Lifetime Arts
“I am feeling motivated and inspired by the things I learned and the new resources we can use to continue to promote Creative Aging, not only at Silk Road Rising, but in all of Chicago.”
— Tracy Strimple, Director of Education, Silk Road Rising
