The Artful Codgers’ Exhibition at Summerlee Museum to Support Local Foundation

A special art exhibition at Summerlee Museum, titled The Artful Codgers, is set to captivate visitors while also raising funds for a meaningful cause. The exhibition, featuring works from a talented group of senior artists, will contribute to a local foundation dedicated to supporting community projects and creative initiatives.

Summerlee Museum, known for celebrating industrial heritage and cultural history, provides the perfect backdrop for this unique collection of artwork. The Artful Codgers is a group of older artists who bring their life experiences, skills, and creativity to the forefront through painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Their work reflects themes of nostalgia, resilience, and the beauty of aging, offering a deeply personal yet universally relatable experience for viewers.

This year, the group has chosen to use their platform to support a local foundation that funds arts and community programs. A portion of proceeds from artwork sales and donations collected during the exhibition will go directly to the foundation, ensuring continued support for creative projects that enrich the local area.

The exhibition showcases a variety of artistic styles and subjects, from landscapes and portraits to abstract pieces that explore memory and emotion. Many of the artists involved have backgrounds in different industries and professions but have turned to art as a powerful means of expression in their later years. Their work is a testament to the idea that creativity has no age limit and that artistic passion can flourish at any stage of life.

Visitors to Summerlee Museum will have the opportunity to engage with the artists, learn about their inspirations, and even purchase pieces to take home. The museum is also planning a series of workshops and talks in conjunction with the exhibition, allowing guests to explore their own creativity while supporting a good cause.

One of the key figures behind the exhibition, a long-time member of The Artful Codgers, expressed excitement about the event:

“Art has given us a voice and a sense of purpose. We’re thrilled that our work can not only bring joy to others but also help fund important community projects. It’s wonderful to see our creativity making a real impact.”

The local foundation benefiting from the exhibition has played a vital role in fostering creative talent and supporting arts education. By providing grants and resources to artists, schools, and community groups, it ensures that people of all ages and backgrounds have access to the arts. The partnership between The Artful Codgers and the foundation highlights the power of collaboration in strengthening cultural and artistic endeavors.

The exhibition will run for several weeks, giving the public plenty of time to explore the artwork and contribute to the cause. Whether visitors come for the art, the history, or the opportunity to support local initiatives, The Artful Codgers at Summerlee Museum promises to be an inspiring and rewarding experience.

For those interested in attending, Summerlee Museum will provide further details on its website and social media channels. Don’t miss this chance to witness remarkable talent, celebrate lifelong creativity, and support a foundation dedicated to enriching the community through the arts.
