The co-founders of Art Against Ageism talk about the alliance of artists and art activists seeking to combat ageism and promote age positivity. Learn how artistic activism can change people's minds about stereotypes around aging and older adults.
About Meg
Meg LaPorte helps aging services entities dismantle ageism in creative ways so that their communities can be the best environments for elders to live and thrive. Having written about and reported on all things aging services for more than 22 years, LaPorte is a communications, PR, and marketing specialist who seeks to advance positive age beliefs and reframe society's perspectives about age and aging.
Since obtaining her MA in Management of Aging Services from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2014, LaPorte has been devoted to harnessing the power of storytelling, trend spotting, and idea curation to produce potent and compelling communications and marketing campaigns. She currently focuses much of her energy on Art Against Ageism, a nonprofit organization that identifies, amplifies, and creates artistic activism that confronts and tackles ageism, which she co-founded in 2021.
