Running since 2012, Seniors Art School is a free annual programme of workshops that empowers people over the age of 55 to learn new artistic skills, share stories and develop their creative confidence.
Working with contemporary artists, attendees participate in stimulating conversations and collaborate as a sociable and friendly collective, engaging in activities including art making, storytelling and new technologies, like collaborating on a vocal composition to create an original sound piece, producing original contents for a podcast, digitally drawing animated images, or planning and recording radio segments.
As a key part of our 40th Anniversary programme we celebrate our Seniors Art School and all the people and communities who have contributed to its success over the years.
This exhibition showcases artworks created by participants during recent workshops. From sculpture to lino prints, from drawing to creative writing, and from bookbinding to podcasts, the artists have explored a multitude of techniques, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of their creativity.
We hope the exhibition inspires you to explore your own creative lives, showcasing the potential of what can be unlocked, explored and fully embraced through creative participation, teamwork and shared curiosity.
