WTIU is hosting a free, virtual conference to explore, explain, and navigate some of the issues of growing older. The fourth annual WTIU Conference on Aging will be held online every Saturday at 10 a.m. from October 2 to November 20.

WTIU is pulling together area experts and resources to help participants find the answers to many questions associated with getting older. Attendees will learn what to ask, who to ask, and how to make wise decisions now that keep their options open as they age.

The conference will include the following eight sessions: Medicare 101, Supplemental and Long-Term Care Insurance (October 2); COVID-19: An Update (October 9); Palliative and Hospice Care: A Conversation (October 16); Dementia: An Overview (October 23); Mental Health and Aging (October 30); What You Need to Know About Social Security (November 6); You Want Me to Do What? The Roles of POAs, Guardians, and Executors (November 13); and Gathering Family Stories and Telling Your Own (November 20). Each session will include a live chat feature so participants can ask experts questions.

This free event is open to caregivers as well as those who would like some advice on more informed aging. Registration is available at wtiu.org/aging.

The Grunwald Gallery of Art is pleased to announce the upcoming Rebloomed Design, Resilience á la Mode Fashion Show. There will be a fashion show on Saturday, October 23rd from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm at the Grunwald Gallery of Art. Gallery entry and all events are free and open to the public.

Rebloomed Design by Daisy May presents Resilience á la Mode, a combustion of art in fashion with work depicting eighteen ensembles made entirely from recycled materials. May started Rebloomed Design in 2017, reworking secondhand textiles such as quilts, linens, and everyday household materials into clothing that is nostalgic and gives the wearer a sense of comfort and affirmation. Fashion helps us artistically communicate who we are, who we want to be, where we are going, and where we have been. The convergence of art and fashion is symbiotic. Everything that exists and surrounds us is a product of the society we live in.
