After 10 years, the Center on Age & Community is transforming. Soon we will share the link for UWM's new Center on Aging and Translational Research. This site will become the home of the Creative Trust, an alliance dedicated to fostering life-long learning through the arts.

Inspired by the experiences of the Spark Alliance of museums and cultural institutions.
This new manual (97 pages) is designed to offer a road map to starting programs for families with memory loss at a wide range of cultural institutions. Small, large, rural, urban - the Spark Alliance of 10 museums and cultural institutions shared trainings and resources to help build their network and improve the lives of people with memory loss. The manual is FREE to download, and was made possible by grants from the Helen Bader Foundation. SparkManual__digital.pdf
