| Abstract | This article reviews the scientific literature on the enhancement of healthy aging in older adults through active participation in the arts. Methodologies and conclusions are described for studies of dance, expressive writing, music (singing and instrumental), theatre arts, and visual arts including documentation of mental/physical improvements in memory, creativity, problem solving, everyday competence, reaction time, balance/gait, and quality of life. In addition to these gains in measures of successful aging, the article also provides (in a Supplementary Appendix) some selected examples of arts engagement for remedial purposes. Finally, it offers suggestions for expanding inquiry into this underinvestigated corner of aging research. © 2013 The Author.

| Statistically significant increases were found for improved emotional well-being, quality of life, understanding of singing, and a marginally significant increase in self-confidence. . | Collaborative investigations between area researchers and artist-teachers in such venues might go a long way toward building a more extensive and cohesive knowledge base. . | It seems highly likely that such arts organizations would welcome inquiries from researchers about setting up individual studies on their drama, dance, and other participatory arts programs, since increased evidence of their value to society could make a more persuasive case for funding. . |
