About Silver Arts

Silver Arts is a national platform that advocates the meaningful possibilities seniors have in the arts. Organised by the National Arts Council (NAC), the event aims to show that old is gold when it comes to the arts. Helmed by seniors, artists and community organisations, Silver Arts, an annual event offers opportunities to enhance the well-being of seniors through developing creativity and facilitating self-expression. Culturally-relevant content will be co-created, and at the same time, seniors can share their stories as well. These stories can help shape our future, and forge better inter-generational understanding. Into its fourth edition, this year’s Festival will take place over four weeks from 1 to 27 September at more than 30 locations island-wide to encourage widespread participation.
