Yes, and Cafe - Episode 14: Living a Life of Value

We speak with Lia Miller, Executive Director of the Creative Aging Network, and Alexis Brown, graduate student in Communication Studies at UNC Greensboro. Lia Co-founded the Creative Aging Network to provide studio space, workshops, and continuing art education to people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. “Yes, people need food, they need water…” she says, “But what do they need beyond that to live a life of value? To me that’s the arts.” Lia’s work has a particular focus on enhancing quality of life for and with the elderly, but she also recognizes the importance of intergenerationality. “Our youngest studio renter is 12 and our oldest is 81, she tells us.” Lia and Alexis are living examples of courageous “yes, and-ers” who create opportunities for others wherever they go. Listen in and be inspired!
