Sharing the Learning event: Arts Engagement with Older People and Families

Our 'Sharing the Learning' event brought together a range of organisations to share learning and experience of work to engage older people and families in the arts, inspired by and including twelve recent research and development projects funded by Arts Council England.

The event was produced by Audiences London in partnership with Entelechy Arts, Capital Age Festival, Silver - Southwark's festival for older people, and CGP London. It was supported by Arts Council England.

Our programme included presentations from:

  • David Slater, Artistic Director, Entelechy Arts
  • Richard Dufty, Senior Producuer, BAC
  • Sally Davies, Assistant Curator for Early Years, Tate Britain
  • Alec Haylor, Community and Education Coordinator, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
