EVERYTHING LISTED UNDER: Art is Ageless

Textile artist Linda McCoy was “totally thrilled” to be a winner in her first Art is Ageless competition. She learned about the annual exhibition and competition because she volunteers as a senior companion at Rolla Presbyterian Manor.

Four local artists are winners in the annual Ageless® juried competition. Works by Ellen Reynolds will appear in the 40th anniversary calendar and greeting cards, a needlepoint piece by Linda McCoy will also appear in the calendar, and Art is Ageless greeting cards will feature the creative output of Sophia deLaat and Sandra Ford. Congratulations to each of these senior artists, who prove that art truly is ageless.

Local senior artists will be celebrated March 16 through 19 at Rolla Presbyterian Manor as the community hosts its annual Art is Ageless® exhibit and observes the 40th anniversary of the Art is Ageless® program.Art is Ageless is a trademarked program of PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America).
