"OVER 60's ART AWARDS" PROGRAM
Across the United Kingdom (UK).
Program Description
"The real joy of the Awards is the unique opportunity they create for older people to demonstrate their continuing capacity to be purposeful and involved, and to enjoy the collaborative venture of entering a national competition."

"The Art Awards have a contribution to make here, demonstrating that talent, energy and enthusiasm, along with a continuing purpose in life, belong to those in later life as much as to the young. "

The "Over 60 Art Awards" showcases senior artwork for five days every year at London's Bankside gallery. The competition is becoming increasingly popular and receives more and more entries by elderly artists every year.
The aim of the "Over 60 Senior Art Awards" is to promote senior art activities, and to show that senior art contributions are relevant. It also hopes to increase awareness of elderly issues and change society’s attitudes of aging and and older adults.
After the awards show a large gallery of senior art by finalists is available for viewing at the Elderly Accommodation Counsel website. The "Elderly Accommodation Counsel" (EAC) is a national charity that helps older people make informed decisions about meeting senior housing and care needs.
