PCA’s 2025 Celebrate Arts & Aging show

Sarah Greer

In conjunction with Older Americans month in May, PCA will hold its 23rd annual Celebrate Arts & Aging (CAA) exhibition of artwork by artists 55+ this year. This year’s event features more than 170 paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs created by older adults, highlighting the fact that age is just a number and aging is a period of immense growth and productivity. The exhibition will run during the month of May, so check out the dates and times for this year’s host venues.

Artists 55 and older in the Philadelphia Region submitted original work.

This year’s Celebrate Arts & Aging exhibition will be a hybrid event, offering the chance to connect in person while also reaching a broader virtual audience. The full collection of original artwork by older adult artists has been compiled into a virtual show (click below to view the 2025 show).
