Jennifer Kulik, PhD
Founder and CEO of SilverKite Community Arts, Seattle, WA

With a background in arts education and community engagement, Jennifer has been a leading voice in the creative aging movement, advocating for the role of the arts in enhancing cognitive health, emotional well-being, and social connection. Through SilverKite, she has partnered with senior centers, libraries, and cultural institutions across the country to design programs that empower individuals to express themselves, share their stories, and remain active participants in their communities. Jennifer has built a platform that connects older adults with meaningful arts experiences, ranging from theater and storytelling to visual arts and intergenerational workshops. Her work highlights the transformative power of theater as a tool for connection, memory, and lifelong creativity, making her a vital voice in conversations about the intersection of the arts, aging, and community impact.
“Creative aging celebrates creativity across the whole lifespan — the arts let people imagine and enjoy the third act of life, not just look back on it.”
