Abstract

This paper discusses a transformative aesthetic experience project that was carried out as one potential way to approach some of the new issues that arise with an aging population. It explores how contemporary community-based art practices may help seniorsliving in rural areas adopt a positive and active approach toward life. Such activities may serve an important role in the curriculum of senior centers in the future.
