Wellness in Creative Aging with Cailey Massey, Founder of Artfull Enrichment Inc.

<p>Being drawn to the arts from a young age and having a mother that’s an art teacher brought Cailey Massey to attend art school. She had the vision to bring <a href= "https://artfullenrichment.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Artfull Enrichment</a> to life and bring about a vision to provide creative programming to enrich the lives of older adults with high-quality sustainable art programming. Through these innovative approaches, we can shift our perspective on what aging looks like. We can become confident and have a creative aging mindset through the shared art experience. Through these shared experiences we can collaborate, connect the generations, and learn more about ourselves. When we push ourselves outside of our comfort zone that is where we can learn something new.</p> <p> </p> <p>Today my guest is Cailey Massey, Founder of Artfull Enrichment. We look at art from a bigger perspective and the benefit art brings to our lives and how it supports our wellness.
