Aging As Art: A Juried Photography Show

How do you perceive aging today? Is it the thriving lifestyle of seniors taking on new careers, volunteering or being physically active? Or is it the traditional notion of the harsher realities of aging?

The Council on Aging – Southern California invites all amateur and professional photographers, 18 years of age or older residing in the United States, to use their imagination and share their vision and unique interpretation of the aging experience.

Aging as Art: A Juried Photography Show will be juried by a panel of distinguished judges. Selected entries will be displayed at Bowers Museum in Santa Ana in Spring 2021. Aging as Art is now displayed at Newport Beach Central Library from October 15 to November 20, 2020 and at John Wayne Airport Vi Smith Concourse Gallery from now until Spring 2021.

Aging as Art: A Juried Photography Show depicts the diversity, dignity, and challenges of what living a long life means today.
