OCTOBER 18,2025

Exhibits at the event will feature artwork created by individuals aged 50 and older and will be open to the public. Organizations across Oklahoma that serve older adults and incorporate art will be invited to participate. All forms of art are welcome, including culinary arts, ceramics, sculptures, glasswork, fiber work (such as quilts, embroidery, and clothing), jewelry, woodwork, photography, painting, 2D art, 3D art, art history, performing arts, and liberal arts. The festival will also feature food trucks and vendors. All art pieces will be labeled with the organization's and the artist’s names. If the individual wishes to remain anonymous or if it is a HIPAA concern, only the organization’s name will be displayed. All artworks will be exhibited inside the building, and performances will be held in the gymnasium area. All art and performance requests must be submitted before September 30 to allow setup and planning time. Your organization will be responsible for submitting the artwork and retrieving it upon the festival's conclusion.  Sherri Williams is the point of contact for the Older Adults Arts Festival and can be reached via email at swilliams@wellnesschc.com. 

A message from our CEO – Isabella Lawson

We are so excited about this year’s Senior Adults Arts Festival!! The Oklahoma older adult population is growing, and we are here to celebrate them! Our Wellness Center’s mission is to provide a facility and programming that improve the physical and emotional wellness of Oklahoma City’s senior adults. Art has proven to be a valuable piece to that mission, and we hope to empower older adults by providing them with an opportunity to showcase their talents. We alone currently have over 3,300 members and hope to expand our membership by hosting events like the Older Adults Arts Festival! Thank you for your commitment to this festival and for helping us celebrate creative aging and the talents of our senior adults!
