MARCH 2024
Community celebrates Art is Ageless® calendar reveal and announces call for entries for this year’s exhibit Parsons Presbyterian Manor is seeking artists for the annual Art is Ageless® juried exhibit April 1 – 3, 2024. Entries of artistic works will be accepted from any area artist who is 65 years of age or over to exhibit and/or compete for an opportunity to be featured in the 2025 Art is Ageless calendar. For the competition, works must be completed after age 65 and in the past five years (since January 2019). There are nine categories, as well as designations of amateur or professional. Entries are due to Parsons Presbyterian Manor, 3501 Dirr Ave., by 5 p.m. March 28. The community celebrated last year’s exhibit and competition with a calendar reveal party back in December. Artists were on hand to display their art works and sign calendars. The Art is Ageless® program encourages Presbyterian Manor residents and other area seniors to express their creativity through its art annual competition. For entry forms and more information, contact Crystal Packard at 620-421-1450 or cpackard@pmma.org, or visit ArtIsAgeless.org. u
