Description
Creative Aging for Lifelong Learning (CALL) – Individual Artists supports projects that combine arts learning for adults with professional development for the artist leading the work. Offered through the West Virginia Department of Arts Culture and History’s arts grants program, this round funds individual artists to teach a new arts skill to a group of adults. Its purpose connects the participants’ learning experience with the artist’s own professional growth.
This is the individual artist branch of CALL, distinct from the separate program for organizations. Supported work centers on teaching a new skill rather than simply presenting an artist’s work. The CALL final report also tracks participation by adults aged 55 and older, learning sessions, participant feedback, and a culminating community event.
