Creative Aging Training 2026

Since beginning our Creative Aging initiative in Montana in 2021, teaching artists across the state have taken us up on the opportunity to extend the possibilities of their work through professional development training in the field of Creative Aging. For those who haven’t yet had the chance, a fresh three-part opportunity is right around the corner!

Creative Aging Foundations Cohort Training is being offered free of charge and will take place virtually on Wednesdays: April 29th, May 6th and 13th, 2026 from 10 am - 12 pm MT.

Lifetime Arts’ Creative Aging Foundations: Cohort Training is a signature team-based learning experience—designed for professionals who want to deepen their skills and grow alongside peers. In this highly interactive, customized cohort training, you’ll build a shared language around creative aging while strengthening your facilitation and program design skills. Together with your cohort, you’ll explore practical tools, proven frameworks, and real-world strategies that prepare you to design and lead impactful, outcomes-driven creative aging programs that truly serve older adults in your community.

You’ll receive a certificate of completion plus a free one-year membership to The Creative Aging Collaborative for continued learning and peer connection.

Participants are expected to complete 20-30 minutes of prep work between sessions.
