Will & Testament - the return of the OBA's

This October we partnered with All is Joy gallery in Soho to present a vibrant four-day exhibition celebrating the creativity of older residents titled Will and Testament - the return of the OBA's (Older British Artists).

Artists - professional and amateur - submitted artwork in a variety of mediums. Our main category was for those aged 80 and over, but we also welcomed entries in our junior category for anyone 60-80.

Now in its second year — this year's event was made possible with funding from Westminster City Council — the show brought together a variety of artworks by older artists.

Over four days the gallery buzzed with visitors, shared stories and new connections. The exhibition showcased a range of work from professional and amateur artists.
