PCA proudly presents its 2024 virtual Celebrate Arts & Aging exhibit
In conjunction with Older Americans month in May, PCA commemorates its 22nd annual Celebrate Arts & Aging (CAA) exhibition of artwork by artists 55+. The event features more than 165 paintings, drawings, prints and photographs that have been created by older adults (including three centenarians), 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 (see below).
