The Wall
Today, we can expect thirty more years of life than past generations – years that hold tremendous, but often untapped, potential for vitality and contribution. As we age, our capacity for creativity increases. We seek meaning and connection. E.A. Michelson Philanthropy believes the arts are transformative. Learning, making and sharing art opens the creative spirit, brings us together, and adds joy to the years after 55.
