The sponsors—Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), The Humphrey Institute for Public Affairs and the Minnesota Board of Aging, with support from institutions such as The Walker Art Center, and At the Foot of the Mountain Theater—worked with a team of over 150 local people to create actions and programs that explored (1) how the media portrayed aging, and (2) older people’s role in public.

Included were two classes at MCAD, a lecture series at Carleton College where Lacy was the distinguished ______________, a premier screening of Whisper, the Waves, the Wind at the Walker, a coordinated media campaign that produced articles, throughout the state, featuring older women, a photo series by Larry Fink commissioned by First Bank, and the Humphrey Institute Leadership Program. Subsequent to the performance, a state-wide leadership training program for older women and two major exhibitions of documentary photographs were funded.
