Abstract
The population is aging, and at the same time, arts audiences are decreasing. The aging audience is different from previous generations, in that they demand a quality of life heretofore unrealized. Research shows a correlation between improved health and certain arts disciplines, as a means to ameliorate certain psychological and physiological symptoms.
Existing programs that deal with offsetting health issues caused by the implications of aging will be discussed as a means to both improve symptoms, and thereby increase audience numbers.
