Art is Ageless is a trademarked program of Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America, faith-based not-for-profit organization with 18 retirement communities in Kansas and Missouri. Each community holds a juried art competition exclusively for people age 65 and older. Winning art may be chosen to appear in a calendar or note cards. Periodic programs and classes are held throughout the year to encourage seniors to express their creativity.
Art is Ageless began in 1981 when resident art was featured in a calendar. The competition is now open to all seniors in the area. Learn more about the program at www.ArtIsAgeless.org.
In addition, a 30-second commercial, “Finding a place to call home at Presbyterian Manor,” received a gold award and the 2014 Founders Day video, “Celebrating the Art of Life” received honorable mention.
The commercial was made available to PMMA campuses to air on local stations as part of a general branding and awareness campaign. The Founders Day video was shown to PMMA’s more than 2,000 employees in 2014 to celebrate the organization’s 65th anniversary.
