From Monday, July 28 to Friday, August 1, the community is invited to visit Presbyterian Manor at 500 Cayce in Farmington to view works ranging from photography to painting to crafts by artists from throughout the area who are 65 and older.
“We are looking forward to the exhibit as it is always a treat to see what the artist in the area have been working on,” said Alison Sheets, marketing director. “Each year we have seen the exhibit grow and become more inclusive of artists throughout our area and are expecting this to be the best year yet for creativity and variety of works on exhibit.”
A special artists’ reception and awards presentation will take place on Friday, August 1 at 2 pm. The community is invited to attend to meet the artists.
For art enthusiasts or those who simply want to learn more about art, the Manor also will host Bonne Terre artist Larry Blevins. Mr. Blevins will conduct a one hour “Wet on Wet” oil painting demonstration on Tuesday, July 29 at 2 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
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 Farmington. 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 system wide contest for the 2009 calendar, occasion and note cards. Judges for the juried exhibit this year are: Pam Frakes, Beth Vogelsang and Dr. Jim Bullis.
For more information about the Art is Ageless Exhibit, to RSVP for the artists’ reception, or to order a 2009 calendar, call Alison Sheets at 756-6768, or visit: Art is Ageless.
