Inspired by founder Duncan Phillips’s belief in the “joy-giving and life-enhancing” power of art, <a href="https://www.phillipscollection.org/event/2026-08-15-creative-aging" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Creative Aging</a> reflects The Phillips Collection’s commitment to art, wellness, and lifelong learning. Creative Aging is designed for older adults living with memory loss. Every Creative Aging session begins in the galleries, where participants share observations, explore emotions, and connect with works of art. These conversations continue through hands-on artmaking, resulting in the artworks featured in this exhibition. This exhibition celebrates curiosity, creativity, resilience, and joy. Together, these artworks remind us that art is essential.

Use promocode Patch10 for a 10% discount!The celebrated Jasper Quartet — hailed as “expressively assured and beautifully balanced” (Gramophone) — takes center stage in Chiarina’s season opener that draws on poems and legends. Reinaldo Moya’s Yara, inspired by the myth of Venezuela’s most powerful female deity, enlivens vibrant string quartet writing with musical imagery and folk allusions, and Mozart’s mature string quartet famously elevates the cello to a melodic role. Schoenberg’s storied string sextet Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), based on the poem of the same name, tells an otherworldly story of love and redemption through the lush, expressive musical language of turn-of-the-century Vienna.
