Our lives are present in our work and are not separate - our creativity often amplifying and extending our previous careers and interests in surprising, fresh ways.Our website features the work of emerging 3rd age creatives, many of whom come together for joint projects — including our first group exhibition at Whitespace Gallery, Edinburgh from 21 November 2025. Through workshops, and collaborative projects, we create spaces for connection, dialogue, and recognition.We welcome new 3rd age creatives to join our project!
