Participating in artistic activities (i.e., singing, music, crafts, painting, drawing, dance, theatre, creative writing, photography and film) can help to reduce loneliness and social isolation.
Taking part in artistic activities has positive effects on your health and well-being, including your memory, level of creativity, ability to solve problems, ability to carry out daily activities, and reaction time.
Museum & libraries often have programs specifically designed for older adults that can increase socialization and connect you with other older adults.
