Art Reception: "40 over 40," by Sandra Costello

Reception: Sat, Nov 15, 5-7pm Photographer Sandra Costello is returning with her celebrated 40 Over 40 Portrait Series at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod. This inspiring exhibit shines a spotlight on women over forty who are rewriting the rules — bold, brilliant, and unapologetically themselves. The closing reception on November 15, 2025, from 5:00–7:00 PM, invites the public to experience forty stunning portraits paired with each woman’s personal story. Sandra’s project has become a beloved tradition, celebrating midlife as a time of power, creativity, and connection. The evening will begin with an exclusive VIP gathering for participants and their guests at 4:30 PM, followed by a public viewing from 5:00–7:00 PM. More than a collection of portraits, 40 Over 40 is a movement — one that reclaims visibility and celebrates the beauty, wisdom, and vibrance of women in midlife and beyond. Each participant’s story, paired with her portrait, will also be featured in a custom magazine debuting the night of the event. “This is more than an exhibit,” says Costello. “It’s a celebration of women who have lived, learned, and loved deeply — and are ready to be seen in all their glory.” The 40 Over 40 Portrait Series has become a beloved tradition, gathering women from across New England who are eager to honor themselves and each other. This year’s exhibit promises to be both heart-opening and unforgettable — a joyful reminder that beauty doesn’t fade; it deepens. Members of the community are invited to attend, connect, and be inspired. Reception Date: November 15, 2025 Time: VIP 4:30 PM | Public Viewing 5:00–7:00 PM Learn more at sandralovesyou.com
