From Friday, August 8 to Friday, August 15, the community is invited to visit Presbyterian Manor at 1711 North 4th to view works ranging from photography to painting to crafts by artists from throughout the area who are 65 and older. “We look forward to this exhibit each year,” said Abby Dickey, Presbyterian Manor marketing director, “as the juried exhibit has expanded to seven categories and is now inclusive of artists from throughout the area who are 65 and older, the exhibit continues to grow.” A special artists’ reception and awards will offer a sneak preview of the exhibit on August 15 at 2:30 pm. The community is invited to attend to meet the artists. The Art is Ageless Juried Exhibit is the preliminary judging phase for the Art is Ageless calendar contest, an annual tradition of Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America, the parent organization of Presbyterian Manor of Arkansas City. A contest to select works for the calendar, which represents retirement communities throughout the Presbyterian Manor system, began in 1980 and has been held annually since. The purpose is to generate awareness that aging doesn’t necessarily mean giving up things we enjoy, and we may even find new talents. First place entries in each category and the Best of Show will be submitted in the systemwide contest for the 2009 calendar, occasion and note cards. For more information about the Art is Ageless Exhibit, to RSVP for the artists’ reception or to order a 2009 calendar, call Abby at 620-442-8700.
