Topeka Presbyterian Manor recently announced the 2022 winners of the annual Art is Ageless® juried competition on the community Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/TopekaPresbyterianManor.
“We are honored to exhibit artwork by seniors,” said Danica Loftin, marketing director. “Art is Ageless is unique in featuring only the works of artists age 65 and older. Our artists prove that art, in any form, is an ageless ambition.”
Winners in the Topeka Presbyterian Manor Art is Ageless juried competition were:
Mixed Media/Crafts amateur: Frances Wood, “Bluebird of Happiness”
Quilting amateur: Peggy Shrewsbury, “Nick’s Music Journey”
Sculpture/3-D amateur: Jae Luscombe, “Seashell Wreath”
Mixed Media/Crafts professional: Dorothy Jeffries, “When Tears Flow Angels Show”
Local competition winners will join winners from 14 other PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America®) senior living communities to be judged at the masterpiece level. Winning entries at the masterpiece level are selected for publication in PMMA’s annual Art is Ageless calendar and note cards.
Art is Ageless is a copyrighted program of PMMA®. For the competition, works must have been completed in the past five years. Started in 1980, Art is Ageless is an extension of PMMA’s wellness programs, which focus on mental, physical, social and spiritual health.
PMMA’s Art is Ageless program encourages Topeka 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.
