PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America®) friends and residents featured in the annual Art is Ageless® calendars are proving that creativity is ageless since 1980. Communities host local art exhibits and competitions for residents and area artists. Both amateurs and professionals are encouraged to participate. Judges from the local community judge works based on composition, mastery of technique and overall creativity. Winners from the local competition advance to the “Masterpiece” level.
All finalists are judged against each other by two to three judges to determine the “Best of Show” for both amateur and professional categories. Finally, the judges are asked to select 27 amateur pieces and 11 professional pieces that will be featured in the annual Art is Ageless calendar.
Both the print and electronic versions of the calendar have been recognized by the Mature Media Awards, MarCom Awards, Health Care Marketing Awards, and the Hermes Creative Awards.
