Creativity Has No Age Limit

At the Center for Abundant Aging’s Symposium on Creativity & Aging, hosted by United Church Homes, one message resonated clearly: creative expression remains vital throughout our lives. The event highlighted how curiosity, learning, and self-expression support wellbeing and purpose as people age—and how providers can create environments where those opportunities remain accessible and meaningful.

That message became personal when one attendee helped his 92-year-old father return to the trumpet after seven decades away from the instrument. Inspired by the Symposium, David signed up for lessons and quickly rediscovered the joy of making music. His story is a reminder that it is never too late to reconnect with creativity—and that mission-driven organizations play a critical role in making those moments possible.
