UPSTAGEING Canberra is Australia’s first large-scale Creative Ageing Arts Festival, celebrating the bold, brilliant, and diverse creative expression of older Canberrans.
Launching in March 2026, the festival will feature performances, exhibitions, arts workshops, and plenty of opportunities to get involved in arts activities, all created by, for, and with older people.
Spanning visual arts, theatre, music, dance, film, and beyond, UPSTAGEING Canberra champions artistic excellence, inclusive practice, and the health and well-being benefits of creativity in later life.
