Creative practice in health care settings facilitates emotional, mental, and physical wellness for participants and staff, while improving the culture of care. Yet there is resistance to arts-in-medicine as a legitimate tool of health care. The predominant biomedical paradigm privileges quantitative assessment methods over qualitative studies which may accept anecdotal, arts-informed, or \u201ccommon sense\u201d evidence. Successful creative programs face challenges translating their benefits when evaluated inappropriately. This arts-informed inquiry uses creative writing to address multiple dimensions of knowing, integrating autoethnographical insights from work as a caregiver, artist, educator, and administrator of collaborative art. Serendipity and imagination in research were employed to explore how collaborating artists can facilitate creative engagement for elders, embodying preventative, community-based medicine to successfully address and transform myriad challenges and opportunities as the population continues to age.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/artbridges.ca\/view_item\/learning_resource\/400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click through the Resource Portal <\/a>to access the document.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creative Engagement Through the Arts as Health Care for Older People: Potential and Problems Provoked University of Toronto, T-Space | ON | 2011 Ezra Houser \u00ab\u00a0Programs that use the arts to engage older people promote health, foster community, and give voice and legacy to participants.
