"Believing in the vital relationship between creative expression and aging, the Center for Creative Aging - North Carolina strives to improve the quality of life for all older adults through education, training, and programming."

Located in Greensboro, the Center for Creative Aging - North Carolina (CCA-NC) is an emerging non-profit organization dedicated to creative aging. In May 2010, CCA-NC sponsored the first ever Creative Aging Symposium in North Carolina.

Creative self-expression encompasses the full range of human activities. It is not just painting, music, or dance. It can be quilting or knitting, wood-carving or gardening, baking or story-telling. Enabling older North Carolinians to create works that honor their life history and creative vision is a powerful step in validating their very existence. CCA-NC strives to increase access to creative opportunities for minority populations, low-income aged, and those with inhibiting medical conditions.

The Center for Creative Aging - North Carolina is a network organization of the National Center for Creative Aging (NCCA). The NCCA is committed to shaping the field of creative aging and each year the organization provides thousands of professionals in health care, social work, and the arts with the theoretical framework and hands-on skills needed to implement sustained, quality creative programs for older people.
