Lawrence Presbyterian Manor hosted a reception in February for the winning artists in the annual Art is Ageless® juried competition.

Local competition winners will join winners from 17 other Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America communities to be judged at the masterpiece level. Winning entries at the masterpiece level may be selected for publication in PMMA’s annual Art is Ageless calendar and note cards.
Started in 1980, Art is Ageless is an extension of Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America’s wellness programs. It encourages our 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.
Congratulations to all of our winners!
