Arts Culture Leisure Livable Communities MetLife Foundation

Partners for livable communities in cooperation with the MetLife Foundation have identified 11 core components planners can focus on to make their city a place where seniors want to grow old. The 11th core component is Arts, Culture, and Leisure.

Seniors assist planners to facilitate the structure to support museum like experiences.

Cultural organizations provide discounts to older residents.

Art museum organizations support outreach programs to engage older adults.

Art and cultural organizations partner with both public and private providers with the focus on inclusion of community elders.

Art and cultural opportunities provide experiences that include the ethnic diversity of the population.

Museums are accessible and comfortable for older residents.

Communities have a responsibility to connect with the wisdom and experience of older adults. With the maturing of the community expect to see an increase in the number of museum like experiences, that were popular in the 1950's-60's.
