Seniors
Art Talks
OAG’s Learning and Engagement team offers “Art Talk” phone calls in partnership with The Good Companions Seniors’ Centre and other seniors’ organizations.
The program is free and all you need is a regular telephone to connect.
We chat about art in OAG exhibitions, the featured artists, their lives, and how their experiences have informed their work. OAG Educators open up a conversation where participants are comfortable sharing parts of their life experiences and memories evoked by the artwork.
SENIORS MEMBERSHIP
OAG’s Membership program provides you with access to exclusive events, offers, and discounts. Take pride in supporting the cultural contributions of regional artists and unique public programming. Seniors Membership is presented by Chartwell Retirement Residences.
Past Events
The ArtWise council, comprised of older adults in the Ottawa region, proposes and initiates programming that reflects their interests at the OAG.
Events have included lectures, tours, exhibition projects, field trips, and workshops.
The Mine the Gap project, which brought seniors and youth together for creative exchange, and the Workshop Village series dedicated to increasing the accessibility of OAG exhibitions and programming for seniors, have been Artwise initiatives.
