Graying arts access: crafting creative online programming to promote older adults' artistic engagement in and beyond pandemic time
As the normative world pushed for a return to ableist normative life in 2022, a year marked by "severe" rates of the highly infectious Omicron variant and the loss of effective public measures, such as community masking and widely available testing, participants described the need for continued access to creative and social participation via remote options that sidestepped socially exclusive and physically inaccessible spaces. Findings indicate a need for increased investment in digital arts programming for older adults aging with/into disabilities.
