Who do you know that is age 55 or over and has an artistic calling in their life? The Senior Showcase: Art After 55 juried art exhibit and competition is back again. The planning team, consisting of representatives from The Arts Castle, Willow Brook Christian Communities, and the Delaware County District Library, has now opened the call for entries for the 2025 show.

Artists ages 55 and older may enter up to three (3) original pieces, made within the last six (6) years, for a jurying fee range of $10-20. Entries will be accepted through 5 pm on Monday, June 23.

Entry forms are available for pick-up at all Delaware County District Library locations, the Arts Castle, or can be downloaded at www.delawarelibrary.org/seniorshowcase. Entries can be made in 2D and 3D categories, including painting, drawing, photography, computer art, mixed media, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, fiber, metal, wood, glass, and stone.

The exhibit kicks off at the Arts Castle on July 21. It will run through October 11 and be open for the public to view during the Arts Castle’s regular operating hours. Winning entries will earn the artists cash prizes and the opportunity to have their winning pieces go “on tour” throughout the county after the initial exhibit closes.

The winning pieces will then be showcased at Willow Brook Run from October 13-31, and will end their tour at the Orange Branch of the Delaware County District Library from November 4-21.
