- Joan Jeffri (Research Center for Arts and Culture, Columbia University) with updates on her work with mature artists and aging.
The session will conclude with time for questions, discussion and setting an agenda for possible future research. This is an opportunity for strategic thinking and sharing important data which can impact, inform and maximize your efforts to support individual artists.
A resource list and inventory of current research will be distributed prior to the conference.
