Celebrate Arts and Aging! Exhibition
Heim Center for Cultural and Civic Engagement at Parkway Central Library
In conjunction with Older Americans Month in May, the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) commemorates its 21st annual Celebrate Arts & Aging (CAA) exhibition of artwork by artists 55+. The event features more than 145 paintings, drawings, prints and photographs that have been created by older adults (including three married couples), highlighting the fact that age is just a number and aging is a period of immense growth and productivity. The exhibition runs from May 1-31.
This year’s Celebrate Arts & Aging exhibition is a hybrid event, offering an in-person connection and the opportunity to reach a larger audience virtually. The full collection of original artwork created by older adult artists has been compiled into a virtual show online at https://youtu.be/SzNR8VAV7UM.
