How does training better prepare artists working with seniors in community-engaged arts?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The H&rsquo;art Centre is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to providing people with disabilities and those facing barriers with opportunities to study, enjoy, and produce works in the arts throughout their lives and as they age. Artists with some education background and educators with some arts background come already equipped with many of the characteristics and skills, interest and motivation to work with seniors and others who experience barriers to arts engagement. We aim to support their ongoing development and to formally recognize that development through the H&rsquo;art Centre MixAbilities Artist\/Educator Training Program \u2013 enabling access to the arts for those Deaf and with disabilities. Our desired impact is that artists\/educators will be more engaged and proficient in their work with H\u2019art Centre participants and more broadly sensitive to ensure inclusion of all adults and seniors with disabilities.
