Lust for Life

Lust for Life: An Art Exhibition by Greater Boston Seniors

Inspired by Irving Stone’s classic biography of Van Gogh, Lust for Life celebrates the passion, creativity, and resilience of senior citizens living in the Greater Boston Area. Just like Van Gogh, who discovered beauty in every brushstroke, our artists remind us that it’s never too late to begin, and you don’t have to be a professional to create a masterpiece.

This exhibition features stunning works in acrylics and watercolor, showcasing the unique perspectives and vibrant spirits of our community’s older adults. Many of the artworks will also be available for purchase—offering not only a chance to bring home a one-of-a-kind piece, but also the joy for the artists of knowing their work is valued and cherished.
