By Kurt Lampe, marketing director for Manor of the Plains
It’s very interesting to scribe for the Art is Ageless judges from behind the scenes and listen to the knowledge they share among the three of them. Each are from different walks of life, but they have combined their expertise for the last two years to judge our art competition with true insight.
Let’s learn a little more about each of them.
Patty McGee is the former marketing director at Manor of the Plains, and she played a vital role in drafting the judging guidelines for our competition. Patty has been involved in the art community of Dodge City even before her tenure at Presbyterian Manor. She was director of the Carnegie Center for the Arts and is now a member of the 2nd Ave. Art Guild. Patty has been featured as the artist of the month at the store, 608 N. 2nd Ave. in downtown Dodge City, displaying many of her own original works of art.
Margaret Butcher is host of Today in Kansas on 1370 KGNO, weekdays at 9 a.m., and she teaches classes around the world as an online professor. Margaret also is a member of the 2nd Ave. Art Guild. Through the generosity of general manager Candice Thomas and Rocking M Radio, Presbyterian Manor is graciously able to do talk shows with Margaret and public service announcements for Art is Ageless and many other promotions.
Marilyn Williams has been one of Presbyterian Manor’s favorite volunteers for a long time. In addition to her assistance with the art show, she helps decorate many of our trees at Christmastime, and not just little ones either – some are 8 feet tall. Marilyn also is associated with the 2nd Ave. Art Guild and has a specific taste for art that is unmatchable. She can look at the most innocent piece and pull out stories and ideas of how the piece came about just by looking at it.
Manor of the Plains would like to honor and thank these three ladies for all they do to help promote Art is Ageless.
