UPSTAGEING Canberra is launching in March 2026, and we’re building a spectacular showcase of the boldest and brightest creative expression from older Canberrans!

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a workshop wizard, we are actively seeking submissions across Visual Arts, Theatre, Music, Dance, Film, Storytelling (Literature) and More! This is your chance to feature your work in Australia’s first large-scale Creative Ageing Arts Festival.

By submitting your event, you’re not just joining a festival, you’re getting a major promotional blast! Your event will be listed prominently on the UPSTAGEING website and advertised across our social media channels and various other exciting avenues. Get seen, get celebrated!

Got a performance? An exhibition? An innovative workshop? Don’t hold back!

Use the form below to submit all the details and join us in celebrating the health and wellbeing benefits of creativity in later life. 

This form serves as the official mechanism for us to collect all necessary information – including event specifics, high-resolution imagery, and key contact details—required for inclusion in the festival program and for all associated marketing and publicity efforts. This is the first step towards kickstarting the powerful promotional wave that UPSTAGEING will provide!
