In addition, “Miss Lilly of the Pond,” a photograph by Cary Brinegar, and “042118,” a drawing by Cary Brinegar, will be featured on the new pull-out postcards in the 2020 calendar.

“We are blown away by the artistic talent in our community,” said Melissa McCoy, marketing director at Salina Presbyterian Manor. “Residents and friends of PMMA’s Art is Ageless program are proving that art, in any form, is an ageless ambition.”
Art is Ageless, open exclusively to people age 65 and older, is a copyrighted program of PMMA. For the competition, works must have been completed in the past five years.
PMMA’s Art is Ageless program encourages Salina Presbyterian Manor residents and other area seniors to express their creativity through its annual competition, as well as art classes, musical and dramatic events, educational opportunities and current events discussions throughout the year.
Started in 1980, Art is Ageless is an extension of PMMA’s wellness programs, which focus on mental, physical, social and spiritual health.
