In 1981, PMMA featured resident art in the first Art is Ageless® calendar. The program was born out of PMMA’s desire to reaffirm “the agelessness of human creativity” and to actively demonstrate that “when it comes to human worth, it is the mind and spirit – not age – that counts.” The sentiments were expressed by former PMMA president, Rev. Thomas C. Wentz in the inaugural calendar.
Through the Honorable Mention Gallery, we recognize additional amateur artists and their works entered in the masterpiece level. In recognizing and honoring the many talented residents of Presbyterian Manors, the Art is Ageless program sustains the vision and the philosophy of supporting residents in the way you want to live.
