Senior Programs: Art At Any Age

The Vancouver Art Gallery is excited to launch Art Art Any Age, a new community-based event program for seniors!

Launching in October 2024, Art At Any Age: Moving and Making is a seven-week series of free, social and educational opportunities designed by and for seniors (aged 55+). The program aims to enrich participants’ lives through art by encouraging connection and fostering an improved sense of wellbeing. Each week will offer new ways for seniors to gather at the Gallery, including for tea and tour sessions, art discussions and intergenerational workshops, all inspired the exhibitions on display.

Art At Any Age is organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery in collaboration with Dr. Kathryn Ricketts, a professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina, and in consultation with an advisory group of seniors. Ricketts has worked in dance, theatre and the visual arts for over 45 years and has developed numerous projects that explore how creative work with seniors can improve quality of life. 

This program is made possible through the generous support of the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP).

Art At Any Age is open to Gallery Members and to the public. Advance registration is required. All sessions will take place at the Vancouver Art Gallery at 750 Hornby Street.
