AFU annual Art Exhibition "Ageless Expressions"
The annual AFU art exhibition offers an opportunity to explore a diverse collection of creative work, from visual art to literature and music, reflecting the passion, imagination, and lifelong learning of older adults engaged in AFU initiatives.
It provides an opportunity for staff and the public to immerse themselves in an inspiring showcase of artistic expression and recognise the valuable contributions of AFU participants to DCU and the broader community.
DCU AFU Showcases Annual ‘Ageless Expressions’ Art Exhibition 2026
Dublin City University’s Age-Friendly University Initiative was delighted to host its annual ‘Ageless Expressions’ art exhibition, celebrating the creativity and achievements of participants across a range of lifelong learning programmes.
The exhibition featured a diverse collection of work produced throughout the semester, reflecting the talent, dedication, and individual expression of those involved. It offered participants an opportunity to present their work publicly, engage with peers, and mark their creative development.
Alongside the visual display, attendees enjoyed readings by members of the Creative Writing module, whose performances demonstrated strong narrative voice and reflective insight. The programme also included live performances from the Folk Music class, contributing to a lively and engaging atmosphere.
The event enabled visitors to experience the exhibited work while hearing directly from participants about the modules and learning processes that informed their creations. These reflections added depth and personal context to the exhibition.
A strong sense of pride and community was evident throughout the event, reflecting the ethos of the Age-Friendly University Initiative.
