Age UK Milton Keynes has announced "Wrinkles and Smiles: A Celebration of Age," a community art exhibition featuring works by local school students that explore the theme of aging. The exhibition will take place at Middleton Hall Centre in Milton Keynes from October 6th to 9th, 2025, with winning pieces displayed at MK Gallery. Primary and secondary schools across Milton Keynes are invited to participate, and two entries per school will advance to a final judging round.
This initiative matters because it fosters intergenerational understanding and respect for older adults while providing young artists with a platform to showcase their talent. By partnering with MK Gallery, the exhibition offers students valuable exposure and highlights the role of art in bridging generational divides and strengthening community bonds.
