We hope to foster an understanding of the value of the arts and creative activity, particularly in a care setting, and demonstrate and celebrate the positive impact of ageing creatively.<\/h3><\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Artist in Residence a Care Setting initiative 2019<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn 2019, Age & Opportunity ran a number of residencies in care settings nationwide, made possible through funding provided by the\u00a0Creative Ireland National Creativity Fund<\/em>, HSE Lottery Funding,\u00a0and the Arts Council. The 2019\u00a0Artist(s) in Residence in a Care Setting\u00a0<\/em>initiative took place in care settings in Clare, Donegal, Dublin, Kerry, Kildare and Sligo.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
These six residencies were designed to bring the benefits of arts participation to up to 250 older people who either live in or visit care facilities and also positively impacted on over 500 people, when we include all those involved \u2013 residents, staff, families, artists, and the wider community.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Age & Opportunity gratefully acknowledges the support of our Arts programme funders, the Arts Council, the Creative Ireland Programme\u2019s National Creativity Fund, and the HSE.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The artist residency initiative was also supported by the Waterford Healing Arts Trust (WHAT), Creative Life, Mercer\u2019s Institute for Successful Ageing (MISA) and the Dementia Services Information and Development Centre (DSIDC) both based in MISA, St. James\u2019s Hospital.\u00a0<\/div>\n
