Abstract National, state, and local arts networks help build the capacity of public and private sector organizations to serve older adults through quality arts engagement opportunities. The National Endowment for the Arts has worked closely with state arts agencies to build networks through a community of practice to facilitate partnerships with artists, arts organizations, aging services, and the healthcare system. With more than 40 states participating, the initiative has resulted in new state partnerships, new state grant initiatives, and new arts learning programs for older adults. Arts service organizations also have a role to play in this work. For example, the American Alliance of Museums is building a network of museums that will develop and implement high-quality, intensive arts learning opportunities for older adults across the United States. This presentation will address how these networks are helping build capacity across the country to improve the health and well-being of older adults

From 1980 to 1983, I served as the Folklife in Education Coordinator for the Ohio Arts Council. The program is an outgrowth of a collaboration between the Folk Arts and the Artists in Education programs, which the National Endowment for the Arts designed to incorporate folk arts and artists into AIE's Artists-in-Residence program. By 1980 twenty-seven states offered some kind of school or community program where folk artists spent a period of days or weeks working with students of all ages. These programs are increasingly popular. Most states now offer residency programs, curriculum materials, and other opportunities for bringing students into closer communion with the folk traditions of their culture or geographic area through state arts agencies, folklife programs or Parks and Recreation departments.
