Please join us for this unique event presented in collaboration between the UC San Diego Stein Institute for Research on Aging and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

The panel will showcase the meaningful work being done by both organizations, supported by the Vitality Arts Program, to explore how art can engage, empower, and enrich the lives of older adults.
