DETAILS:

A collaboration between award-winning Art with Heart, local artists and 50 retired people, The Golden Years Caravan is an intergenerational arts project which provides a space for older residents to learn new skills and create high quality art to be shared in their local communities.

Tired of the mainstream media’s portrayal of older people as grumpy Grandad’s, passive pensioners and senile seniors, Art with Heart set about changing the conversation, by creating a space to combat negative stereotypes and offer a new perspective on what it means to grow older in Greater Manchester in 2019.

You are invited to experience a series of ambitious artworks, all confronting common perceptions of ageing.

The caravan will tour to every district of Greater Manchester in from 8th - 21st July

The caravan is wheelchair accessible and a guided tour of the photographic exhibition Old Stock, New Stock, as well as an audio described version of our short film This Is Our Time for visually impaired audiences will be available.

Entry fee: Free
