Celebrate Seniors Week 2025 at QVMAG with a vibrant program of art, storytelling, and shared experience.

We invite you to explore the theme Connecting Generations Through Food with a diverse lineup of activities designed to spark creativity and connection. From picking up a paintbrush, stepping into the stars, or simply connecting over a shared memory, QVMAG’s Seniors Week program invites you to reflect, create, and celebrate the experiences that bring us together — across ages and across time.

All activities are designed with flexibility in mind, accommodating varying levels of mobility and health for inclusivity and accessibility.

Registrations are essential for all Seniors Week workshops and shows, whether free or ticketed.
