Artistic Representations of Aging is an annual event hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Helen Bader Office of Applied Gerontology that highlights resilience in the older adult community through photography, film and music.

This year’s event spotlights the work of award-winning Wisconsin photographers Cindy Hansen and Guntis Lauzums. Local harpist Ann Lobotzke will provide music for guests.

Attendees will enjoy the Wisconsin premier of In Life, a powerful documentary that challenges the way we see aging, following three extraordinary artists who continue to create, innovate and thrive in their later years.
