Art Against Ageism

An alliance that uses art and creativity to tackle ageism and advance more affirming views of aging.

Time for an updated list of social media accounts that tackle ageism and advance positive — and correct — age beliefs.

Curated and vetted by Co-Founder Meg LaPorte, it’s truly incredible that these individuals and organizations continue to grow and advance our mission of dismantling age bias.

If you don’t see your account here and you consistently post about tackling ageism, please DM us for approval so we can get you on the next iteration.

These community changemakers are committed to honing their voices and spreading a much-needed vision of intergenerational collaboration — both what it looks like and what it can achieve.

They’re proving that the next gen of civic leaders is cogen.

If you're headed to the American Society on Aging conference next week in Atlanta, be on the lookout for our Co-Founders Meg LaPorte and Jordan Evans, who will be armed with our popular "Aging Equals Living" stickers.

Meg will also be cohosting the second annual Story Slam event with Jan Golden of Age-Friendly Vibes on Tuesday from 2:30 to 3:30 pm.

Jordan, Meg, and Adrienne Mansfield will be co-presenting about ageism and ableism in marketing on Tuesday as well.

Jordan will present at the ASA RISE luncheon.

Finally, although the Own Your Age Photo Booth won't be at the conference, both Meg and Jordan will have polaroids on hand, along with art cards and marker, so you can own your age for the camera!

What we see on screen shapes what we believe in real life.

From unsafe working conditions for caregivers to harmful assumptions about aging and geriatric care, these moments reveal how deeply ageism and ableism are embedded in our systems—and our stories.

That’s why art that challenges ageism matters.

Film, television, and creative expression have the power not just to reflect reality—but to reshape it.

It’s time to change the narrative. Because better representation can drive better health care — and better lives at any age.

Behold the power of owning your age! In addition challenging the notion that age is something to hid, it:

1️⃣ Normalizes aging as a universal experience rather than a decline

2️⃣ Counters stereotypes and assumptions about age and aging

3️⃣ Exposes structural bias by making age-based discrimination harder to ignore

4️⃣ Reduces shame and fosters pride in our aging journeys

5️⃣ Resists cultural pressure to stay, and look, “forever young”
