COVID-19: Arts and creative resources for older people (and anyone else) in isolation

However, the wonderful world of creative ageing is already alive with ideas about how we can still bring the joy of arts and creativity into care homes and to older people isolated at home.

Over the years people have told us countless times about much of a difference being creative has made to them. The Baring Foundation collects resources to support creative activity in care homes. V21 Artspace have made virtual tours of hundred plus art exhibitions to explore virtually, which could provide starting points for creativity activities. Other resources include Nottingham City Arts' Armchair Gallery app, Age Cymru's cARTrefu activity cards, and SCIE's Arts in Care Homes resource bank.
