The works were first selected among the winners of the local competition and were automatically entered into a masterpiece level competition with winning art from 14 other PMMA® communities. More than 180 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.
“Lady Lillian,” a Mixed Media/Crafts entry by Reverand Don Schroeder, will be included in the calendar’s honorable mention gallery.
“We’re thrilled to see our local artists be featured so prominently after our local exhibit and competition,” said Amanda Randolph, sales director. “Their work is proof that creativity remains, no matter our age.”
