Works by local winners are automatically entered into a masterpiece level competition with winning art from 16 other PMMA communities. More than 190 entries were received for this year’s masterpiece competition. The winners are featured in the Art is Ageless calendar with pull-out postcards and greeting cards.
“We are blown away by the artistic talent in our community,” said Kurt Lampe, marketing director for Manor of the Plains. “Residents and friends of PMMA’s Art is Ageless program are proving that art, in any form, is an ageless ambition.”
