Senior Council's Annual Art Show
June 5, 2026 to June 12, 2026 5:00 PM – 3:00 PM
This event is held every year.
Each year, Kirklanders come together to celebrate art and ageless creativity with the Senior Council’s Art Show. The event features the work of local creators who are 50 and older, and all community members are welcome (and encouraged!) to attend. In 2026, the art show will be held between June 5 and June 12 at Merrill Gardens, located at 14 Main Street South in Kirkland.
To kick off the event on June 5, there will be a reception from 5-7 p.m. with live music, complimentary hors d’oeuvres, and a no-host bar serving Northwest wines and beer. Attendees can vote for their favorite artwork in six different categories during this time. At 7:30 p.m., winners will be announced and receive ribbons.
Participants’ artwork will continue to be displayed in the lobby of Merrill Gardens until June 12. It will be available for viewing between the hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Senior Art Show features many different forms of creativity. Artists are allowed to submit up to two pieces of artwork in six different categories. The categories are: Oils and Acrylics, Watercolor, Pastels and Drawing, Photography, Quilts, and Other Media.
