Welcome to CADA – Creative Ageing; Development & Agency. We champion the cultural contributions of older people and drive change for underserved and underrepresented artists, creatives and their communities.
Unfinished Business
Six years and there’s still a lot left to do.
After six years championing the cultural contribution of older artists and creatives, CADA is closing on Friday 18th December 2026. We’re not going quietly. Before we close our doors, we’re handing the sector our Unfinished Business.
This essay, by researcher Dawn Cameron with our Co-chairs Elizabeth Lynch MBE and Arti Prashar OBE, tells the story of what CADA set out to do and what we achieved.
Our Work…
Creative Ageing Activists have described creativity as ‘thinking by doing’ and radical as ‘something that makes your heartbeat faster’. We invite you to join us as we lead a radical rethink and reflection on creativity and ageing.
How many times do we come of age?
Creative Access Consultant and Artist Jo Paul shares their experience of delivering a workshop with CADA at the Wellcome Collection, exploring visibility and agency as we age.
