Art is Ageless® exhibit and reception this month Since the beginning of time, creative expression has brought joy to both its creators and those who experience their art. The Art is Ageless® program offers senior artists the opportunity to share and display their artwork, and reaffirms the agelessness of human creativity. This month, their works are on display at Manor of the Plains. “It’s inspiring to see the beautiful pieces these seniors have created,” said Kurt Lampe, marketing director for Manor of the Plains. “The joy it brings to them and others is wonderful, and that’s something we want to celebrate and share with the entire Dodge City community.” The Art is Ageless exhibit will feature works from local artists who are 65 and older, including a few Manor of the Plains residents. The public is welcome to visit the community to view the exhibit of acrylics, oils, photography and various other mediums, ranging from amateur to professional levels. ART, continued on page 2
