Burlington is playing host this weekend to the state’s first arts festival celebrating the spirit and opportunities of aging.
Full Circle: The Art and Heart of Aging is a three-day event which explores issues surrounding aging through dance, theater, music film and art exhibits, as well as workshops and panel discussions.
The festival is the vision of Vermont filmmaker Camilla Rockwell.
Rockwell says she felt a change in her own life when she turned 60, entering a stage that is generally ignored by the culture-at-large.
She decided the arts can be a perfect gateway to engage people on issues of aging.
