• embedding proven approaches to engaging older people as visitors, audiences, or participants in creative processes (e.g. ambassadors or buddying schemes)
• testing and applying new ways to engage older people
• commissioning older artists or art that has particular relevance for older people
• showcasing or curating and celebrating art created by and with older people
